County colours in Connacht

County colours in Connacht

The flags in popular use are based on the colours of the county teams in Gaelic football and hurling - the most popular spectator sports. As these flags are entirely unofficial, the designs vary: one sees the colours arranged as horizontal stripes, quarters, lozenges, etc., but vertical stripes are the most common. These flags have outgrown their sporting origins and are now widely used on festive occasions, flown alongside the European Union, national and provincial flags at shopping centres, hotels, etc.

Galway	Gaillimh	maroon and white
Leitrim	Liatroim	green and gold
Mayo	Maigh Eo	green and red
Roscommon	Ros Comáin	blue and yellow (officially primrose yellow)
Sligo	Sligeach	black and white

Vincent Morley, 4 December 1996
