History An Bhratach Aontacht Thamlachta, the final rendering of the flag, was adopted by Tallaght Historical Society and Tallaght Community Council in 2017. It is hoped that this flag will garner support as the flag of all the people of Tallaght and its vast hinterland.
Should your educational institution or place of business acquire a display flag, there are some protocols to observe. |

Meaning
|
The field is white to represent unity. The green of the hoist represents the natural hinterland, especially the ecology of its green hills. The red deer symbolises the combined importance of the local fauna and of mythologies associated with them in the area. It may also be seen to reflect the bloodlines of the many civilisations that have existed in Tallaght, from prehistory until the present day. Three blue 8-pointed stars adorn the flag to the top right of the field. These stars simultaneously represent the past, present and future and reflect the natural water sources of the locality. The stars also echo a flag retrieved after the Battle of Tallaght in 1867.
