Lots of complete an utter nonsense pushed about the OO down here, aided by the media. Was talking to an ex-hockey mate of mine who is a member of the Dublin and Wicklow lodge, LOL1313. He was canvassing for a 'Yes' vote in the 8th referendum. The OO down here backed a 'Yes', which was news to me. Met loads of OO members over the years and they've been sound, with the odd exception. The older folk tend to be more problematic. They media will be up in NI this week searching for their usual bonfire pictures. Strange that they don't do the same for nationalist bonfires. The celebrations in NI will pass off without incident, hopefully.

On Thursday, a Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland statement recommended “all those voting on this sensitive issue reflect on what abortion is and read what God says about the sanctity of human life”. It said: “As we approach the referendum on the repeal of the Eighth Amendment on the Constitution of the Republic of Ireland we call upon our members, supporters and friends - eligible to exercise their democratic right - to vote No.
