Irish Flag (Republic of Ireland) (ROI) (Eire) Tile

This design features the national flag of the Republic of Ireland, which is a country in the North West of Europe. The Republic of Ireland consists of 26 out of the 32 counties on the island of Ireland (which is also known, in the Irish language, as Éire and, in Ulster Scots, as Airlann); the other counties make up Northern Ireland, part of the United Kingdom. The orange and green colours on the Irish flag were intended to symbolise harmony between the nation's Catholic and Protestant communities. The capital and largest city of the Republic of Ireland is Dublin, which is located on the eastern coast of the island. Other major cities within the Republic of Ireland include Cork, Limerick, Waterford and Galway.
