192 1 year, Ireland declared independence, but six counties in northern Ireland decided to remain subordinate to Britain, which was later called Northern Ireland. During the period from 1924 to 1972, the "Red Hand Flag" (Ulster Banner) was used: with a white background, the center of the Red Cross was covered by a white hexagon (representing six counties in Northern Ireland) with a crown above the hexagon. 1924 was awarded by King George V of England on August 2nd, and 1953 was officially opened on May 29th.
However, when the autonomy of Northern Ireland was abolished in 1972, Northern Ireland did not have its own government flag or official flag.
Since 1973, Northern Ireland has used the British flag in official activities. However, the red flag is still used in some sports organizations and other occasions. During the period from 1953 to 1972, the official flag of Northern Ireland was the Red Hand Flag.

The church tends to use the St. Patrick's cross flag.
