Thomas F. Meagher Foundation

Pride – Respect – Peace

The Thomas Francis Meagher Foundation was established in 2013 to promote pride in, and respect for, the Irish flag and the understanding of its symbolism and meaning for peace.

First flown by Thomas Francis Meagher in Waterford in 1848, the Irish tricolor flag is an iconic symbol that generates worldwide respect.

Each year on the eve of St. Patrick’s Day on the 16th of March, the Thomas F. Meagher Foundation’s Annual Flag Day takes place in secondary schools across the State. Flag Day gives schools the opportunity to celebrate Active Citizenship & Inclusivity in their school community and to enter the Awards & Scholarship Program.

The mission of the Foundation is to promote pride in, and respect for, the Irish flag and its true meaning for peace, and to encourage active citizenship among our young people, with an emphasis on creating a sense of inclusion and belonging for our new Irish communities and the next generation.  The vision of the Foundation is to see Meagher’s dream become a reality – “When young people of all backgrounds, ethnicities, cultures, genders, and sexual orientations have pride in, and respect for, the Irish Flag as a symbol of peace and inclusion.”
