Can anyone explain why they are similar in term of the same order of color green, white, and red?
The only thing that distinguish Mexico flag from the other two flags is that Mexico flag has a picture of and eagle in the middle.
Please, be as descriptive as possible.

When I said :"the similarity" I mean the political representation.
Thank you for the correction about the Ireland flag's colors.

Well, the Italian flag and the Irish share the same colors and tones. But the Mexican flag is similar to the other twos but with strong colors. Very strong and bright green and red. In the center has the shield of the eagle. It is a Imperial Eagle and it is standing over a cactus and is eating a snake or serpent. We have a legend in Mexico that they say, the Mexicans were looking for the land to settle and the signal from Quetzalcoatl was that they were going to see in the middle of the lake a small portion of land and cactus and on top the eagle devouring a serpent. So they keep walking and finally they found what their God told them. And Tenochtitlan was founded in the same site, so that's why we have our Eagle in the middle of our flag in the white part. The green means our land, the white the eternal snow that covers the volcanoes and the red the blood of our heroes who died for our motherland. I hope that I help you.

the Irish flag is green white and orange,not green white and red like Italy. the colors for Mexico and Italy i do not know but the colors for the Irish flag are
green=the Irish catholics
white=peace
orange=the protestant/British in Ireland
the flag shows a desire for peace and unity between the two warring sides. p.m had a good answer but to elaborate a little,the reason for using the french flag was because france became a republic which inspired the others including america to become republic nations.

The Irish flag is Green/White/Orange.
All are derived from the French Tircolour as a model, hence the similarity.

The colors on the Irish flag are green, white and ORANGE. Green represents the Catholic population, orange, for William III, (William of Orange), represents the Protestant faction, and the white symbolizes the truce between them.

Yeah, I've noticed the similarity of colors just last year but sorry I still have no clue why. Even my Italian friends can't answer that. So I give up asking & I just leave it the way it is. Good luck. (- -,)
