I wouldn’t have a great deal in common with YouTuber OrangeDemocrats, but this is a fascinating piece of Dublin social history. Jaycarax posted notice of this radio documentary prior to its airing on RTE, and here it is in full. This is well worth a listen, notice one of the first men speaking describes himself as a ‘working class Dublin Protestant’ from the north inner-city, perhaps not the stereotypical member of the Orange Order!

“triumph comes not to those who can inflict the most but to those who can endure the most”
did mcsweeney take that from some one else or is that quote taken from him.
interesting though that that sentiment is used. not how i’d image they’d see themselves.
