Zastava Sjeverne Irske
Appearance
Službena zastava Sjeverne Irske je zastava Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva.[2][3][4][5] Alsterski barjak je koristila Sjevernoirska vlada od 1953. godine, pa sve do ukidanja vlade i skupštine 1973. godine. Od tada, barjak nema službeni status.[6][7][8][9] Međutim, barjak i dalje koriste lojalisti i unionisti kao zastavu Sjeverne Irske.[10][11]
Zastava Svetog Patrika predstavlja Sjevernu Irsku neposredno kao Irsku u zastavi Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva. Ponekad se ističe tokom Dana Svetog Patrika u Sjevernoj Irskoj[12] i koristi se za predstavljanje Irske tokom nekih kraljevskih događaja.[13]
Posljednjih godina, bilo poziva za novu, neutralnu zastavu Sjeverne Irske.[14][15]
