- The "National" Colour shows on a green ground the Golden Harp of Ireland with its nine silver strings, which is, as a matter of fact the National Flag of lreland. Its antiquity is well established. It is supposed to represent the mystic harp of Dagda, which, when he played, caused the four seasons to pass over the earth — a symbol of life that joyously renews itself.
- Notwithstanding that the English government uses blue ground instead of green under the harp, the fart that Dagda‘s harp was called "the oak of the two greens," and that Dagda himself was refined to as "the green harper," as well as the universal consensus of Irish opinion, establish beyond doubt that the colours should he green.
- On the advice of Dr. [George] Sigerson, the doyen of our antiquarians, the carved harp, or cláirseach, hearing the figure of Erin, has been adopted in preference to the plain harp, or cruit, which the Doctor believes should he only used for the Arms of Leinster
