| Dec 9, 2014 at 16:41 | comment | added | A E | That's what it seems to mean now though. "The white in the centre signifies a lasting truce between the 'Orange' and the 'Green'". Department of the Taoiseach <--------- they ought to know. | |
| Dec 9, 2014 at 16:37 | comment | added | Jon Story | That's a bit of a misnomer - the description of "Two sides and peace" was well after the adoption of the flag by the Easter Rising rebels: they didn't have a huge interest in peace! Either way, I'm not criticising the use of the flag in the riddle, just that I don't think many people will get it - almost anyone will associate "Symbol of Ireland" with the Shamrock. | |

| Dec 9, 2014 at 16:35 | comment | added | Oblongamous | @JonStory by personifying Ireland, its flag is his/hers. Also its no exactly riddled with anything apart from three colours. It was created to represent the desire for peace, each part of the flag representing a side with peace being the major theme of the flag. Therefore it has multiple references to peace ergo riddled. | |
| Dec 9, 2014 at 16:34 | comment | added | A E | There are quite a few different things which symbolise Ireland. As well as the flag, I thought about the harp, Kathleen Ni Houlihan, Hibernai, the shamrock and the Celtic cross. I dismissed the leprechaun as being too corny. There's some more on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:National_symbols_of_Ireland | |
| Dec 9, 2014 at 16:30 | comment | added | Jon Story | It certainly is a representation and a "symbol" - but "The symbol" of Ireland (as suggested by "My Symbol" will make virtually anybody think of the shamrock. I'd also perhaps argue that it isn't "riddled" with white, either. "The Centre of my Standard, my desire for peace" or something to that effect, perhaps? | |
| Dec 9, 2014 at 16:28 | comment | added | Oblongamous | @JonStory a conventional representation of an object. If the irish flag isnt a representation of Ireland I dont know what is :D | |
| Dec 9, 2014 at 16:21 | comment | added | Jon Story | @Oblongamous - The symbol of Ireland is the Shamrock. Perhaps you meant the standard? (As a substitute for flag which would likely give it away a little too easily) | |

| Dec 9, 2014 at 15:55 | comment | added | A E | Oh, I see. Yes, the flag is nationalism / peace / unionism, according to WP: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… | |
| Dec 9, 2014 at 15:53 | comment | added | Oblongamous | Ire as in rage, being in England I'm well aware of their rage, the IRA were a known force. IRE into irate into IRA also works. Irelands flag was to represent, now correct me if I'm wrong something to do with their celtish believe or protestants and the romans. Green for celts and orange for roman. White is the colour of peace therefore the division is peace | |
