These Irish flags are 3ft x 2ft or 90cm x 60cm.
The Irish flags are made of cloth and remember the great Irish men who gave their lives for Ireland in the H Block Hunger strikes of 1981.
The blanket protest was part of a five-year protest during the Troubles by Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) and Irish National Liberation Army (INLA) prisoners held in the Maze prison (also known as "Long Kesh") in Northern Ireland. The republican prisoners' status as political prisoners, known as Special Category Status, had begun to be phased out in 1976. Among other things, this meant that they would now be required to wear prison uniforms like ordinary convicts. The prisoners refused to accept that they were ordinary criminals and refused to wear the prison uniform.
