Notes:
The flag shown is no longer official, although it is used when Northern Ireland participates in its own right in international sporting events. The official flag of Northern Ireland is now the Union Flag. It should be noted that the above flag is closely connected with the Protestant community of Northern Ireland and is unpopular with sections of the Roman Catholic community. The Irish tricolour, or the flag of the Province of Ulster (similar to the above flag but with a gold background, the red hand on a white shield instead of a star and no crown) are sometimes used by the Roman Catholic community.
