Sully’s at Boston, US maintains a website offering t-shirts and other popular
sorts of clothes:
http://www.sullysbrand.com/ and the company logo, already rather vexy, has
bred an attractive Irish variant flag. See fifth down on this page:
http://www.sullysbrand.com/flags.
Caption: “Sully’s famous IRISH flag logo, made into a huge 3 foot by 5 foot
flag! Perfect for St. Patricks’ Day, or every day if you are Irish!”
The white middle stripe of the Irish national flag is
converted to a shamrock with three leaves. Note how the design causes the green
field to spill over into the fly.

This Irish national flag with a shamrock on its central panel, and an overall
ratio of 2:3 appeard on the U.S. adult animated televsion series South Park
(at 16′11″ of
Credigree_Weed_St._Patrick%27s_Day_Special ep. 6 of season 25, first aired
on 2022.03.16), but it’s likely a frequent sight in places outside Ireland
when/where the Irish diaspora is celebrated (a different example here:

A friend of mine writes, "within the past year or so I've seen flags in my
neighborhood (which is very Irish) that are the standard Irish tricolor, but
have on the white, in green, the shape of the entire island, not just the
Republic. A quick Google Images search doesn't find anything."
I see
nothing like this on FOTW or on the Flags of Ireland site. I used your images as
a base to construct the attached file based on this description, and tried
searching for something similar using
www.tineye.com, but all it turned up was maps of the British Isles.

I found on a website dedicated to the Belgian gastronomy the recipe of a
cocktail called "Irish flag":
2 cc Mint spirit
2 cc Irish cream (Bayley's)
2 cc Grand Marnier
The ingredients have to be poured in the above order, very gently down a long
spoon, so that the coloured liquids won't mix together.
