Best Answer

The mainly protestant supporters of the link with Britain, were labelled orange, in memory of the dutch Prince William who became king of England on his marriage to Mary Stuart, and who ensured the protestant succession to the English throne. the mainly catholic Irish opposed this and often used the traditional Irish green flag + golden harp as their banner. in the republic the colours of the flag are meant to reflect this divide with the hope that there will be peace (white) between them.
