Ulster Banner
The Ulster Banner was the flag of the Government of Northern Ireland, and ''de facto'' flag of Northern Ireland, from 1953 to 1972. It was based on its earlier coat of arms. The Northern Ireland Government was abolished in 1972 and, since then, the flag has had no official standing. It has become a symbol of Ulster loyalism〔(Flags used in Northern Ireland ) – ''CAIN Web Service'' (quote: "this particular flag of Northern Ireland is seen as staunchly Loyalist")〕 and a contentious symbol.〔(Promoting Fair Play in Sport ). Sport Northern Ireland. p.9〕
==Origin==
The flag is a heraldic banner taken from the coat of arms of Northern Ireland, which were granted in 1924. This is based on the flag of England〔(Northern Ireland (United Kingdom) at ''Flags of the World'' )〕〔(CAIN: Symbols – Flags Used in Northern Ireland )〕 and the flag of Ulster,〔(Northern Ireland (United Kingdom) )〕 with the addition of a crown to represent the monarchy of the United Kingdom. As with the flag of Ulster it contains the Red Hand of Ulster at the centre. Rather than a shield, the Red Hand is inside a six pointed star, representing the six counties that make up Northern Ireland.
The flag is also sometimes called the Ulster flag,〔(Lords Hansard text for 13 Jul 200613 July 2006 (pt 0947) )〕 Northern Ireland flag, the (old) Stormont flag, or the Red Hand of Ulster flag.〔http://www.limavady.gov.uk/filestore/documents/good_relations/Web_Questionnaire.pdf〕 Loyalists often use 'Ulster' as another name for Northern Ireland, and Stormont was the seat of Northern Ireland's Government.
