This is the Easton Flag from Easton, Pennsylvania. The legend attached to it is that it was displayed on 8 July 1776 for the reading of the Declaration of Independence in Easton, Pa. There is no documentation for this. In reality it is in all likelihood the Company Color of Capt. Abraham Horn's Militia Co. from Easton raised during the War of 1812. The original survives at the Easton Public Library.

The four historical Irish provinces are not administrative divisions, and never were. Nowadays, though, they are sometimes used as convenient divisions of the country. From about the middle of the 17th century, coats of arms were attributed to the provinces. Flags representing the four provinces are now widely used, but there seems to be no evidence of their existence before the 20th century. There also exists the "Four Provinces Flag", which occasionally appears as a kind of substitute national flag. It consists of a flag composed of four quarters with the four provincial flags (clockwise, from upper hoist: Ulster, Munster, Connacht, Leinster).

The standard of the President of Ireland consists of a golden Cláirseach (Gaelic harp) with silver strings on a background of azure blue. The design is the same as the Coat of Arms of Ireland, and was based on the Trinity College Harp. The standard is flown over Áras an Uachtaráin, the official presidential residence in Dublin. It is also flown at Dublin Castle when the President is in residence and on vehicles used by the President. As with other presidential and Royal Standards, it is never flown at half mast. The Presidential Standard never takes precedence over the flag of Ireland, whereas, for example, the Royal Standard takes precedence over the Flag of the United Kingdom.
