"On 1st July 1992 The Royal Irish Rangers, the last Irish Infantry Regiment
of the line, merged with The Ulster Defence Regiment to form The Royal Irish
Regiment."
From the official site at
http://www.army.mod.uk/royalirish/: the graphic in the top right corner is
the regimental flag. It can be seen in use at
http://www.royalirishregiment.co.uk/News%20Pages/fort_george.htm. A
horizontally banded flag of dark green, red, yellow, blue and dark green
[10:7:4:7:10, I estimate] with the badge--a crowned harp--centered, in dark,
silvery gray. The proportions look to me to be 3:5, consistent with the
flag-graphic on the official site. I'm not altogether sure if the harp in the
badge on the flag has a wreath or not.
