What is the official symbol of Ireland?

I really thought I'd fool someone, but Mozart proved me wrong. The Irish Harp it it!

The harp has been regarded as the official symbol or coat of arms of Ireland since medieval times. The heraldic harp is used by the Government, its agencies and its representatives at home and abroad. It is engraved on the seal matrix of the Office of the President as well as on the obverse of all coinage. It features on the Irish euro coins. - www.eu2004

And, far more importantly, on every bottle of Guinness ! (Wouldn't you be thinking that the EU site would mention that. They are so po-faced, these people. )
