Sully’s at Boston, US maintains a website offering t-shirts and other popular
sorts of clothes:
http://www.sullysbrand.com/ and the company logo, already rather vexy, has
bred an attractive Irish variant flag. See fifth down on this page:
http://www.sullysbrand.com/flags.
Caption: “Sully’s famous IRISH flag logo, made into a huge 3 foot by 5 foot
flag! Perfect for St. Patricks’ Day, or every day if you are Irish!”
The white middle stripe of the Irish national flag is
converted to a shamrock with three leaves. Note how the design causes the green
field to spill over into the fly.

I found on a website dedicated to the Belgian gastronomy the recipe of a
cocktail called "Irish flag":
2 cc Mint spirit
2 cc Irish cream (Bayley's)
2 cc Grand Marnier
The ingredients have to be poured in the above order, very gently down a long
spoon, so that the coloured liquids won't mix together.
