where is athlone on the map of ireland
Athlone Athlone is near the geographical centre of Ireland, which is 8.85 kilometres (5.50Â mi) north-northwest of the town, in the area of Carnagh East in County Roscommon.[6]
Flag of Ireland The proportions of the flag are 1:2 (that is to say, flown horizontally, the flag is half as high as it is wide). The Irish government has described the symbolism behind each colour as being that "green represents the older Gaelic tradition while the orange represents the supporters of William of Orange. The white in the centre signifies a lasting truce between the 'Orange' and the 'Green'." [3]
