The Irish flag is Green, White and Orange, maybe not in that order lol
My question is if the green and white is for catholics, does that mean the orange is for protestants or something like the orange march?
Anybody know what the 3 colours really stand for?

The green is for Catholics, the orange for Protesants and the white is for peace to unify the two

yes orange is for protestants
It comes from William of Orange (William lll of England) who became the King of Ireland from 1698 to 1689. He was also the king of England and Scotland at some point too. Anyway, he was a protestant and the irish protestants loved him. Many Protestants heralded him as a champion of their faith; it was partly due to such a reputation that he was able to take the crown of England, many of whose people were intensely fearful of Catholicism and the papacy

GREEN......represents the native people of Ireland ..
ORANGE ...the British supporters of William of orange
WHITE.......Peace and honesty between the people ....
If green and orange stand for division then white could and hope bring them together here's hoping
