The Flag of the City of Dublin Dublin Flag. An attractive and unusual small green flag, with embroidered yellow harp to the left of the green field and with a quarter size blue carton to the right with three white castles, approx. 23.5cms x 11cms ( 9 �'' x 4 �''), some faults. V. Rare. * In 1885 an effort was made to exalt the green flag still further. Its stimulus was the buoyant spirit which had been stirred up by the mounting fortunes of Home Rule, but its immediate occasion was a wish to score over the Unionists in the matter of an impending visit to Dublin by the Prince of Wales. The Lord Mayor said in April that as soon as the Prince arrived in Ireland he would haul down the Dublin City flag which, according to established custom, flew over the Mansion House in Dawson Street where the Lord Mayor was in residence. The implied insult to royalty offended some students of Trinity College, who raided the Lord Mayor's garden one night and took away the flag. Dublin Corporation, on which the Nationalists predominated, replied by ordering a new flag. The old flag had shown as its sole device the civic arms of three flaming castles on a blue field. The new one was green. It bore a harp in the centre of the field and had a blue canton on which were displayed three white castles. For further reading see ''A History of Irish Flags from earliest times,'' G.A. Hayes-Mc Coy. This flag was adopted by the 3rd City of Dublin Regiment Irish Volunteers in 1915 by the addition of their numeral III - see Irish Volunteers - F X Martin.
