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.

See anything else?

Plantations of Ireland


Pulled this off google and i can read the details. I'm also pretty sure that laois and offally were also planted. Curious to find out about the "Irish" planting of monaghan. Perhaps this was done by the descendants of the anglo-normans the so-called old english? Note also that the most protestant areas of Northern Ireland at the moment are the ones that were privately settled. The tea-party would like that.

Ulster catholic protestant demographics 2001 and 2006

Got this from wikipedia. Interesting to see the protestant enclaves within the republic. Will find out what these are. Only border ward with high percentage of protestants? Aughnacloy.
