King Billy in Ireland

Not the best one i've found... Basically he starts in the north in 1689 and works his down to Kinsale for the last battle in 1690. Orange Order made this map in conjunction with the creation of a tourist venture whereby people can follow the "williamite trail".

Orange Order lodges in Northern Ireland

Taken from Sneps.com

Don't have any figures for the counties but it would seem from looking at this that Armagh has the highest concentration. There are 44 lodges in the Republic (see earlier post for map) which means there are about 1350 lodges represented on this map.  The OO is divided into 12 counties- the six traditional northern ones (derry is londonderry of course) plus the city of Londonderry and city of belfast plus 4 border counties - Cavan, Donegal, Leitrim, Monaghan.  These 12 counties are split in districts of which there are 126. A map of them i would like to get.  Each county has a county lodge and each district has a district lodge and then there's the ordinary lodges. If any of that is wrong please let me know.

Orange Order Halls in the Republic of Ireland

Taken from cadolemo.com

A few years ago Eamon o Cuiv the minster for the gaeltacht and other things set up a group called cadolemo. This is basically a group that helps the orange order that is based in the republic.  The map shows the halls that are in each county. The numbers are:
Dublin 1
Leitrim 2
Cavan 7
Donegal 16
Monaghan 18
ROI total 44

The pics following come from a facebook page that took some photos of an attempt at a world record of the most orange banners in one parade. The ones here are all from Irish lodges.

Im told that there are plans afoot to resurrect old halls in Dublin and possibly one in Cork.

Hehe:)

On a serious note last week the OO grands secretary Drew something or other spoke to the Irish seanad. In my opinion he said some good things. Apart from that its all a part of "normalizing" relationships between the two communities. However in his speech he talked about the OO in terms that suggest that it is still a highly big part of the protestant community. Perhaps it is but it would seem that this is the case in the sense that its facilities are used regularly (they have about 1400 halls) but its actual members are way down (latest i heard was around 30,000) and like the churches in the North- falling at a steady rate.
