This week 175 years ago, back in 1848, the Irish flag was first unveiled and hoisted on the Mall in Waterford, Ireland.
Created by Thomas Francis Meagher a skilled orator and statesman who later went on to become the first acting governor of Montana.
Often represented as green, white and gold the Irish flag is in fact green, white and orange - in Meagher's own words: "The white in the centre signifies a lasting truce between the 'Orange' and the 'Green', and I trust that beneath its folds the hands of the Irish Protestant and the Irish Catholic may be clasped in generous and heroic brotherhood."
The 7th of March 2023 marks 175 years since the Irish flag was first flown.
