The Presidential Standard
The Presidential Standard is the flag of the President of Ireland and consists of a silver stringed gold harp similar to the harp on the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Ireland, and is on a St. Patrick's Blue background. The standard is flown over Áras an Uachtaráin, the presidential palace in Dublin, when the President is in residence or in vehicles used by the President.
As with other presidential and Royal Standards, it is never flown at half mast - the standard never takes precedence over the flag of Ireland. The standard was introduced on February 13 1945.
