United Irishmen “Liberty or Death” Flag

United Irishmen “Liberty or Death” Flag – Father Murphy, Battle of Arklow, 1798

Proudly fly this striking historical flag inspired by the United Irishmen rebellion of 1798. Featuring the bold slogan “LIBERTY OR DEATH” and a stark white cross at its centre, this flag pays tribute to Father John Murphy and the Wexford rebels who fought for Irish freedom at the Battle of Arklow.

This green flag with white lettering and cross is one of the most iconic designs linked to the Wexford campaign of the 1798 Rebellion. The Christian cross reflects the leadership of Father Murphy, a Catholic priest turned rebel commander, while the “Liberty or Death” slogan was a rallying cry for Irish republicans inspired by revolutionary movements in America and France. Though no standard flags were issued at the time, this version has become one of the best-recognised and most enduring banners from Ireland’s revolutionary history.
