		The Young Ireland rebellion of 1848 was quite a small affair and the tricolour flag was largely forgotten until the twentieth century.

		According to Hayes-McCoy the flag was of green poplin bordered with gilt braid and fringe.

	Flag of Ireland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Contrary to myth, the tricolour was not the actual flag of the Easter Rising, although it had been flown from the GPO; that flag was in fact a green flag with a harp and the words "Irish Republic".
		In 1920, Ireland was partitioned, with the unionist-dominated northeast becoming Northern Ireland, while later, in 1922, the remainder of Ireland seceded from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland as the Irish Free State.
		Thus it is this flag and the Union Jack that are flown by unionists, while the tricolour is often used to represent nationalist defiance.

	Ireland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom, is often unofficially referred to as "The North" (by nationalists and residents in the Republic of Ireland), "the Six Counties," by nationalists, and "Ulster," by unionists (although the historic province of Ulster also includes the counties Donegal, Cavan, and Monaghan, which are in the Republic).
		The GAA is organised on an all-Ireland basis with all 32 counties competing; traditionally, counties first compete within their province, in the provincial championships, and the winners then compete in the All-Ireland senior hurling or football championships.
		Ireland's largest religious group is the Roman Catholic Church (about 70% for the entire island, and over 90% for the Republic), and most of the rest of the population adhere to one of the various Protestant denominations.
