Why is there orange in irelands flag?

why is there orange in irelands flag?

a simple google search clears this up

gingers

but explain it to me ples

because some dutch king was masturbated over by loyalists and british settlers

his name was orange, go figure

but why would the irish put it on their flag?

>acts condescending
>thinks the Protestant part of Ireland is the Republic

whats with all the irish posting on Veeky Forums

nobody cares about some irrelevant potato faggots

so that they never forget

It represents the Protestants of Ireland

ah that explains it

thank you

...

...

green beer, white pavement and orange puke on saint patricks day for the retarderd.


But I would also like a legitimate answer as well, always admired Irish culture.

nice

it's why it's orange after all

>irish
>culture

Please stop.

It may be primitive, but there is yet a rich and varied culture on that island, why, each region even has its own style of stretched hide fishing boat!

absolutely barbaric

because some of them are protestants, even in the six counties

Wew lad.

but the six counties arent part of ireland

They got their canon tables completely wrong. They seemed to simply copy lists of information, without quite grasping what their context would have been supposed to be.

The book was /grievously/ physically mangled during a re-binding process that (IIRC) occurred during the nineteenth century. /Large chunks of the book were cut away during this process/. A more responsible re-binding occurred in the middle of the twentieth century,

A handful of commentators have insinuated themselves into the conversation over the years - the odd marginal note indicates page count, content, and such.

Later, during the potato famine, the Irish starved for want of knowing how to fish.

T. have read two books about the book of Kells and yes the Irish are very dumb

BEADY

the bints who made that flag thought it might encourage them to play nice

why did the brits make irelands flag?

are you intentionally stupid?

This gets stale
t. Irishman

its just a question

oy gevalt shut up you filthy potatonigger!

fair dig cunt

...

there's a potato I hope suffers a blight

...

sorry, I meant the counties making up the republic

no need to apologize i get your meaning now

green = catholic
orange = proddy
white = the """""peace""""" between them

Posted as bait obviously but actually asks a very pertinent question.

Is the official description of origin and symbolism of the Irish flag true?

IMO. Probably not, but it's a good yarn.

>good info with "how is potato family real like holy shit nigga just go fishing!" slipped in

Masterful trolling old boy

Veeky Forums is notoriously "pro paddy" to offset the infinite anglo supremacists that come from /pol/

This isn't really a relevant country but it does have interesting bits, and is noteable for keeping its blood safe from the anglos.

Also, the flag is green white and orange to represent the two main historic sides of the catholic/protestant conflict and the white for the peace between them.

>but user, the south is mostly catholic

when the 6 counties joins them, the protestants will be represented in the flag :^)

The Eternal Dutch

>when the 6 counties joins them
Think religion will be all but dead 300 years from now anyhow

The fleg stands for peace (white) between catholics/irish (green) and protestants (orange)
t. irishman

fuck ireland

t. salty amerifag

cool pepe

The only way to get peace is to destroy popery for all time

As I recall the green is for catholics, the orange is for protestants, and the white is for peace between them.

Terrible flag, honestly. The Harp flag is better,

hush up lil man
