The symbols are inspired by the panels of the Celtic high cross. Each period of Irish history is represented by a separate icon, from Saint Patrick and the Round Tower symbolizing early Christianity, to Viking Warriors, Norman Soldiers, King William and the Union Jack. The terrible potato famine is represented by a skeletal icon and the Emigrant Ship. Ireland's independence is marked by the G.P.O. and the Partition of the island.
