The Saint Patrick's saltire was used by the Blueshirts and later the Greenshirts as the flag of their movement.

The Blueshirts primarily used used the red and white Saint Patrick's saltire. There is information of a "blue flag" used by the movement,[1] but there are prominent propaganda pictures that show the red and white Saint Patrick's saltire flag being used. The book The Blueshirts by Maurice Manning displays a picture of Blueshirt propaganda on the cover that shows a man in the Blueshirt uniform with the red and white St. Patrick saltire flag flying in the background and with a small shield emblem of the St Patrick saltire on the uniform.--R-41 (talk) 02:13, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
