Orange Order to attend Dublin visit.

squod · 14-05-2011 08:55PM #1

Protestant clergymen, Orange Order members from both sides of the border and former loyalist paramilitaries are expected to be among the guests at next Wednesday's Islandbridge Commemoration event attended by President McAleese and Queen Elizabeth II.

A queen, the English prime minister and clergymen. Grand. Not a bother I'm thinking. The orange order though? Is that a bit much like. What do the people of AH think of all this.

Last time the orange order came to visit there was bedlam. Is there any need to invite this funny cult at all. It's the year 2011 and realistically, grown men playing at dress up and carrying out bizarre rituals is hardly something the average person would be interested in. Wonder who invited them.

Due to the subtle trolling by the Orangies in the first instance...

I'm more concerned with the fact that nearly the entire gardai will be in Dublin leaving the rest of the country very vulnerable to break in's etc.

That just describes every religion on this planet.

There is a Grand Orange order lodge in Dublin. I heard a documentary on it recently - very interesting. I think there is about five lodges in the Republic. Maybe its them who are meeting the British Queen. BTW I dont see why people are getting so strung up about the subject as there was no such outcry when the last royal visit was here --Prince Albert of Monaco. Shes just another head of state. Nothing more or less.

BTW I hate when people call her the Queen as there are plenty of Queens. She is the British Queen. She is nothing special.

steddyeddy · 14-05-2011 09:04PM

Actually its a lot worse than that its members of the uda who are coming as well.

To be honest, I'd say there'll be mayhem on the streets of Dublin. Better stock up on the popcorn.

Don't see the need for it myself.

This is an excellent doc produced by RTE http://www.rte.ie/radio1/doconone/radio-documentary-orangeman.html

LEst we forget the Love Ulster parade was primarily organised by this bastion of modernity, who I think suspiciously resembles a fat curley watts

i think a lot of british people would not agree with you about her being nothing special. as for the usual sh1t trotted out about her being just another head of state. are you not aware of all the attrocities perpatrated on the irish by the british for centuries as far as i am aware they still occupy part of ireland now i am not the best scholar evere and have a bad memory and if you can enlighten me as to when exactly monaco sent its army here to murder irish people take their land and starve them to death

Detest the orange order but they are big fans of the queen so it makes sense that they'd go and meet with her - seeing as it's so geographically near and all. The reason why people here just refer to her as "the queen" is because everyone will automatically know who's being referred to. And she's probably the most famous of all the monarchs in the world anyway. No biggie.

And feck it, a few innocent bystanders could be killed too, but meh... what of it?

Strange, if it's the Northern Orange Order that are coming to visit. I mean, why don't they go visit Bet in their own country... She does live there.

Remmy · 14-05-2011 09:20PM

fcuking sh't stirrers.

dlofnep · 14-05-2011 09:21PM

I'm not so worried about the Orange Order. I'd be more concerned with the UDA's presence on the anniversary of the Dublin & Monaghan bombings. We must be a big joke to them at this point.

Not only that the queen has been to norn iron several times theres no reason for their bigotry down here.

What a cunt. If insulting that awful bigot gets me into trouble for breaking the Boards civility rule, so be it.

Naming that video "Willie Frazer insults Catholics of N Ireland " doesn't mean that's who he was actually talking about. I'd be a tad suspicious of the fact its a 13 second clip
