Historians estimate that Ireland was first settled by humans at a relatively late stage in European terms - about 10,000 years ago. Around 4000 BC it is estimated that the first farmers arrived in Ireland. Farming marked the arrival of the new Stone Age. Around 300BC, Iron Age warriors known as the Celts came to Ireland from mainland Europe. The Celts had a huge influence on Ireland. Many famous Irish myths stem from stories about Celtic warriors. The current first official language of the Republic of Ireland, Irish (or Gaeilge) stems from Celtic language.
Sometime between about 600 and 150 BC, Celtic peoples from western Europe, who came to be known as Gaels, invaded Ireland and subdued the previous inhabitants. The basic units of Gaelic society were the tuatha, or petty kingdoms, of which perhaps 150 existed in Ireland.
The Republic of Ireland was proclaimed on April 18, 1949, and withdrew from the Commonwealth. From the 1960s onward two antagonistic currents dominated Irish politics. One sought to bind the wounds of the rebellion and civil war. The other was the effort of the outlawed Irish Republican Army and more moderate groups to bring Northern Ireland into the republic.
The three colors were joined together as a symbol of unity starting around 1830, though not widely accepted until 1848. It was not until Easter Rising in 1916 that the tricolor flag was considered the national flag, and with the passage of the Constitution of Ireland in 1937, the tricolor became the official national flag of Ireland.
Since Northern Ireland was apportioned from Ireland in 1921, the banner has been seen by northerners as an image of the division as opposed to solidarity and the general population of Northern Ireland normally fly an alternate banner. The Ireland banner comprises of three similarly estimated vertical stripes of green, white, and orange. The banner's green stripe goes on the crane side, the white in the middle, and the orange on the outside.
The shades of Ireland's banner convey recorded importance. The green is an impression of the Society of United Irishmen, a republican association amid the 1790s. The orange is a representation of supporters of the House of Orange, who settled in Northern Ireland in the seventeenth century. The white between the green and orange is an image of peace between the two sides, reflecting Irish independence and the union of the general population of Ireland. The green on the Irish banner remains for the local individuals of Ireland, the Friendly Brothers of St. Patrick.The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Ireland Flag for the future.
