Description
English: Flag, Irish Lights Commissioners

The flag of the Irish Lights Commissioners. It is made in synthetic fibre bunting and is machine-sewn. The design consists of a red St George's cross on a white background with a painted lighthouse and lightship in alternate cantons. Marked in ink on the hoist: 'IRISH LIGHTS'. The flag has a rope and toggle attached. The new version of this flag, introduced in September 1970, has the cross of St Patrick instead of that of St George.

The Irish Lights Commissioners is the lighthouse authority for all the island of Ireland, its adjacent seas and islands. It is a cross-border organisation with its headquarters in Dublin.

[edit]
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain in its source country for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

 Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).
This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
