An bhratach trí dhath i uaine, bán, agus flannbhuí, an suaitheantas náisiúnta. Trí stríoc chothroma atá sa bhratach agus tá a leithead dhá uair níos faide ná a hairde. Bratach phobail, bratach stáit agus bratach loinge.
Is ea íSeasann an stríoc uaine do na Gaeil, an stríoc fhlannbhuí do na Nua-Ghaill (dream a thacaigh le Uilliam ?"rá isteach i gCogadh an Dá Rí), agus an stríoc bhán don dóchas go mbeadh síocháin idir an dá dhream.
Chuir Thomas Francis Meagher, ceannaire de chuid lucht Éire ?"g, an bhratach i láthair an phobail don chéad uair ag cruinniú a tionóladh i gcathair Phort Láirge ar an 7 Márta 1848. Seo mar a labhair sé nuair a chuir sé an bhratach i láthair mhuintir Bhaile Átha Cliath ag cruinniú eile an mhí dar gcionn:

It's Irish.
The tri-colour, green, white and orange, the national emblem. The flag has three equal stripes and it's twice as long as it's wide. It's the public flag, state flag and ship's flag. The green stripe represents the Irish, and the orange stripe represents the new English ( the group that supported William of Orange in The War of the Two Kings), and the white stripe represents the hope that there would be peace between the two groups.
Thomas Francis Meagher, the leader of Éire ?"g, was the first person to publically show the flag at a meeting held in the city of Waterford on March 7th 1848. This is what he said to the people of Dublin when he showed the flag at a meeting the following month:
The green flag was used by the followers of Daniel O Connell at the time,but The Young Irelanders were republicans and they wanted an emblem that would clearly show their republicanism: The new flag was based on the French republican flag.
