 **The flag of Ireland is divided into three vertical stripes of equal size: green, white and orange.**

Green
 * The green stripe on the left of the flag is a traditional Celtic color, signifying Ireland's Celtic history.

Orange
 * The orange stripe on the right represents William of Orange, the Dutch prince who became King William III of England after the Catholic James II was deposed in the 17th century. A protestant who also ruled over Ireland, he still was viewed with tolerance by most of Ireland.

White
 * The white stripe in the middle of the Irish flag represents the cooperation, or truce, between the historic Celtic tradition of Ireland and the English, protestant William of Orange.
