Military ensigns

This nation's naval ensign is the same as its national flag, so Template:Navy produces the following:

• {{navy|Ireland}} → Irish Naval Service

This template includes an air force ensign flag variant that can be used with Template:Air force:

• {{air force|Ireland}} → Irish Air Corps
• {{flagicon|Ireland|air force}} →

This template includes an army ensign flag variant that can be used with Template:Army:

• {{army|Ireland}} → Irish Army
• {{flagicon|Ireland|army}} →

Redirect aliases

This template can also be used via an alias name (implemented as a redirect to this template):

Alias name	{{flag|alias}} output	{{flagcountry|alias}} output
IRE (view)	ಐರ್ಲೆಂಡ್‌ ಗಣರಾಜ್ಯ	ಐರ್ಲೆಂಡ್‌
EIR (view)	ಟೆಂಪ್ಲೇಟು:Country data EIR	ಟೆಂಪ್ಲೇಟು:Country data EIR

See What links here for a full list of redirects.

Example usage

• {{flag|Ireland}} → ಐರ್ಲೆಂಡ್‌ ಗಣರಾಜ್ಯ
• {{flagicon|Ireland}} →
• {{flagcountry|Ireland}} → ಐರ್ಲೆಂಡ್‌

Using a flag variant

• {{flag|Ireland|1783}} → Ireland
• {{flagicon|Ireland|1783}} →

Using a redirect alias

• {{flagicon|IRE}} →
• {{flagcountry|IRE}} → ಐರ್ಲೆಂಡ್‌
• {{flag|IRE}} → ಐರ್ಲೆಂಡ್‌ ಗಣರಾಜ್ಯ

Other information

This template is intended to be used for all-Ireland instances, usually resulting in a wikilink to Ireland (article about the island) instead of ಐರ್ಲೆಂಡ್‌ ಗಣರಾಜ್ಯ (article about the sovereign nation).

However, it is often convenient to use {{flagicon|Ireland}} and {{flag|Ireland}} instead of {{flagicon|Republic of Ireland}} and {{flag|Republic of Ireland}} respectively, so this template differs from the standard format in order to accommodate that usage. The alias parameter changes depending on whether or not a flag variant is used by the parent template call:

alias = {{#if:{{{variant|}}}|Ireland|Ireland (state)}}

This results in

• {{flag|Ireland|1783}} → Ireland (use for Ireland as part of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland)
• {{flag|Ireland}} → ಐರ್ಲೆಂಡ್‌ ಗಣರಾಜ್ಯ (use for current state)

Sporting teams

Also, several sport-specific flag variants are maintained here, and these are automatically used by the respective sport team templates:

• {{fb|Ireland}} → ಐರ್ಲೆಂಡ್‌ (football, 1882–1922)
• {{fh|Ireland}} → {{country data Ireland

| flaglink/core | variant = | size = | name = | altlink = national field hockey team | altvar = field hockey (field hockey)

• {{rl|Ireland}} → ಐರ್ಲೆಂಡ್‌ (rugby league)
• {{ih|Ireland}} → ಐರ್ಲೆಂಡ್‌ (ice hockey) — all-Ireland team that uses the tri-colour
• {{ru|Ireland}} → ಐರ್ಲೆಂಡ್‌ (rugby union)
• {{cr|Ireland|cricket}} → ಐರ್ಲೆಂಡ್‌ (cricket)

Use of country code aliases

The standard country code for the Republic of Ireland is IRL, so it can be used as an alias for Template:Country data Republic of Ireland. The non-standard country code IRE is used as an alias for this template to provide similar convenience. For example:

• {{flagicon|IRL}} →
• {{flagicon|IRE|1783}} →
• {{flagicon|IRE|4prov}} →
• {{fb|IRL}} → Republic of Ireland (links to Republic of Ireland national football team)
• {{fb|IRE}} → ಐರ್ಲೆಂಡ್‌ (links to Ireland national football team (1882–1950))

Incorrect usage

Do not use the IRL alias for all-Ireland sports team, and do not use the IRE alias without a flag variant specified. The following examples should not be used.

• {{flagicon|IRE}} → (Works, but better to use the standard country code for IRL.)
• {{fh|IRL}} → {{country data IRL

| flaglink/core | variant = | size = | name = | altlink = national field hockey team | altvar = field hockey (Use {{fh|IRE}} instead)
