Starry Plough flag is available to buy online at The Flag Shop. The Starry Plough flag measures five feet by three feet, 152cm x 91cm, with two metal eyelets / grommets for hanging. The Plough flag is printed with vivid colours onto quality polyester. The Starry Plough banner was originally used by the Irish Citizen Army. The leader, James Connolly, said the significance of the banner was that a free Ireland would control its own destiny from the plough to the stars. This was flown by the Irish Citizen Army during the 1916 Easter Rising. The flag depicts the constellation of Ursa Major, known as The Plough in Ireland and the UK, or in the US, the Big Dipper. Ursa Major (or The Plough) is one of the most prominent features of the night sky over Ireland throughout the year. While similar to the state flag of Alaska it predates it by more than a decade.
