It has a long history and stages of it becoming the Irish flag. It's origins go back to 1848. It was raised over the GPO during the Easter Rising in 1916. It was adopted in 1919 as the national flag in the war of Independence and then during the civil war of 1922 to 1926. It was officially recognised as the national flag in the 1937 constitution.

What history of the Irish flag?

In the late 18th century green had become associated as the colour of revolution. The United Irishmen, founded in the 1790s, were inspired by the French revolution, and used a green flag, to which they had a harp emblazoned. A rival organisation, the Orange Order, whose main strength was in Ulster, and which was exclusively for Protestants, especially members of the Anglican Church of Ireland, was founded in 1795 in memory of King William of Orange and the "Glorious Revolution" of 1688. Following the Irish Rebellion of 1798, which pitted the "green" tradition of the republican United Irishmen against the "orange" tradition of Anglican Protestant Ascendancy loyal to the British Crown, the ideal of a later nationalist generation in the mid-19th century was to make peace between the two traditions and, if possible, to found a self-governing Ireland on such peace and union. The oldest known reference to the use of the three colours of green, white and orange as a nationalist emblem dates from September 1830 when tricolour cockades were worn at a meeting held to celebrate the French Revolution of that year - a revolution which restored the use of the French tricolor. However, widespread recognition was not accorded to the flag until 1848. The Irish flag is always flown with the green at the hoist. In 1937, the tricolour's position as the national flag was formally confirmed by the new Constitution of Ireland.
