Who designed the green flag with green star and who adopted it later?
The national flag of Ireland (Irish: bratach na hÉireann / suaitheantas na hÉireann[1][2]) is a vertical tricolour of green (at the hoist), white, and orange.[3][4] It is also known as the Irish tricolour.[5] The flag proportion is 1:2 (length twice the width). Officially the flag has no meaning in the Irish Constitution,[6] however a common interpretation is that the green represents Roman Catholism while the orange represents Protestantism.[7] The white in the centre signifies a lasting truce between the ‘Green’ and the ‘Orange’.[8] Presented as a gift in 1848 to Thomas Francis Meagher from a small group of French women sympathetic to the Irish cause,[9][10] it was not until the Easter Rising of 1916, when it was raised above the General Post Office in Dublin, that the tricolour came to be regarded as the national flag.[11] Meagher was the son of Newfoundland-born mayor of Waterford, Thomas Meagher Jr, however there are two theories on his inspiration for the flag; the similarly-symb
Since the earliest days of Esperanto, the colour green has been used as a symbol of mutual recognition and it appears prominently in all Esperanto symbols. The Green Star (verda stelo) was first proposed in an 1892 article in La Esperantisto (The Esperantist) for use as a symbol of mutual recognition among esperantists. The Esperanto flag is composed of a green background with a white square in the upper lefthand corner, which in turn contains a green star. The green field symbolizes hope, the white symbolizes peace and neutrality, and the five-pointed star represents the five continents (Eurasia, North America, South America, Oceania, Africa). The flag was created by the Esperanto Club of Boulogne-sur-Mer, initially for their own use, but was adopted as the flag of the worldwide Esperanto movement by a decision of the first Universal Congress of Esperanto, which took place in 1905 in that town. By recommendation of the board of the World Esperanto Association, the flag should have the

By recommendation of the board of the World Esperanto Association, the flag should have the following proportions. The ratio of the width of the flag to the height of the flag to a side of the white square should be 3 to 2 to 1. The ratio of a side of the white square to the radius of a circle enclosing the star should be 10 to 3.5. [1] Sources:
