Description

The coat of arms of the Republic of Ireland was created in 1832, after Ireland, with large ammounts of financial, logistic and material aid of the French Empire, gained independence in 1830. The second Connacht Revolution (as it is named today) started after the British Monarchy began to enforce the tithe in Ireland, wich had become part of the United Kingdom after the Act of Union was enacted in 1801.

Though resentment toward the Act of Union was present among the Irish population, historians agree, that the French, through acts of sabotage and propaganda, sparked the violent uprisings throughout Ireland and that the revolution would have possible never taken place without French involvement.

The CoA features the arms of the four provinces of Ireland, clockwise from top to bottom:

Connacht
Munster
Ulster
Leinster

The supporters are Irish Elks (a species of elk that became instinct about 7.000 years ago and has been found in high numbers, but not exclusivley, in Ireland). Atop is a corona civica - the civic crown, used in ancient Rome. The banners on each side feature the national flag of Ireland, the Eagle Harp.
