Presidential Standard (Ireland)
- Presidential Standard (Ireland)
The Presidential Standard is the flag of the President of Ireland. It was instituted on February 13, 1945.
Its design consists of a golden "Clàrsach" (Gaelic harp) with silver strings on a background of St. Patrick's Blue. The design is the same, except for shape, as the Coat of Arms of Ireland.
The standard is flown over Áras an Uachtaráin, the official presidential residence in Dublin. It is also flown at Dublin Castle when the President is in residence and on vehicles used by the President.
As with other presidential and Royal Standards, it is never flown at half mast. The Presidential Standard never takes precedence over the flag of Ireland, whereas, for example, the Royal Standard takes precedence over the Flag of the United Kingdom.
