The first ever depiction of the harp for Ireland in formal heraldry, around 1270AD

First appearing as a coat of arms in the French Wijnbergen Armorial, it predates the first national flag (Denmark’s) by half a century

The harp on azure would be adopted by the English King in the 1400’s, before it was reclaimed as the Irish Presidential flag in 1945

A version of the harp on a green field achieved popular folk association with Ireland following its emergence in 1642, an alternative to the harp on azure then used by occupying forces

The harp appeared in Irish myths from 500BC.
It was central to Irish kinship ceremonies by 500AD, each King sponsoring a harpist family.
Harpists were revered members of Gaelic Irish society

Irish symbolism and identity can be traced back thousands of years…

@ulstermanone @AnGaelBeag @mkbl1965 @BeattieDoug As respected Ulster historian Jim O'Neill has already said, Ian Adamson made up nonsense and Microsoft Paint diagrams are ridiculous. Go get some real historical research.

"Being half Irish myself, I learned about the Leprechauns of Ireland while I was still a small boy on our farm at Marceline Missouri!" #WaltDisney said himself in 1959. #Ireland #Disney

This is a map of #Ireland. Each dot you see is a G.A.A Club. The G.A.A is a cultural sporting organisation representing the native Irish Game of Hurling (the oldest field sport in the world) & Gaelic Football (derived from the ancient Irish Caid). *Also Irish Handball & Rounders

“When our friendless standards were first unfurled, who were the strangers who first mustered around our staff, Erin’s generous sons. Ireland, thou friend of my country in my most friendless days".

George Washington's praise for his Irish soldiers.

The green harp flag of Ireland

It was first recorded in 1642

It became the flag of the 1798 rebellion &, for many, a national standard

So why didn’t it become the Irish National Flag? (1)

[Irish Thrones @IrishThrones]

A great post and explanation from @TimmyMallett about the visits of Charlotte Brontë, #HarryPotter actor Richard Harris and even Che Guevara to Kilkee County Clare. @jimfitzpatrick the creator of the iconic Che image gets a great mention too. #Ireland

@GRRMspeaking #GameOfThrones "Winds of Winter". @colossal Maybe on top of Dire Wolves we can see the Irish Wolf, extinct only 240 years ago! Or the Irish Elk (Largest Deer to have ever lived)? The Irish Cave Bear? (ancestor to the Polar Bear) returning. #DireWolf

It's crazy that dire wolves were brought back before __________ .
