Description

An Ancient Order of Hibernians day in Maghera. A parade and speeches made addressing the approaches made by the Orange Order for nationalists to accept the constitutional position of Northern Ireland. Speakers are Senator Fitzpatrick and Frank Matthews, National Secretary of the AOH. The overall tone is conciliatory but clear that the two sides maintain very difficult beliefs.

Notes

The Ancient Order of Hibernians (AOH; Irish: Ord Ársa na nÉireannach) is an Irish Catholic fraternal organization. Members must be male, Catholic, and either born in Ireland or of Irish descent. It emerged in Ulster at the end of the 19th century in opposition to the Orange Order. There are a number of annual parades, one being on 15th August as in this clip.
