I'm not sure you will immediately recognise the irish flag in the union flag.
If you mean the flag of ulster then it is just a red cross the same as england, the only difference that it had a red hand in the centre of the cross which is not on the union flag
The Irish are represented by the cross of St Patrick.

The red saltire represents the island of Ireland and St Patrick in Heraldry. It was adopted by the Order of St Patrick in 1780 to represent Ireland. Other Irish organisations soon adopted it as well. In 1800 after the Act of Union when Ireland agreed to become a Union with Britain, it was added to the Union flag in order to represent the joining of the Kingdom of Ireland to the Kingdom of Britain.
