Flag of Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland currently has no own flag. The Union Jack is used instead.

From 1953 to 1973 Northern Ireland used a flag showing a red St. George's cross on white (like the Flag_of_England), with a crowned white six-pointed star showing a red hand. As this flag is associated with the unionists, it has no chance to be reintroduced. Republicans use the Irish national flag.
