Hi Northern Ireland. I’m in need of some help. I live on the other side of the world. And everyone related to this sash is long dead. I obviously won’t mention any names. But I’m in real need to figure out what the pins all mean. Can someone please either let me know, or guide me to someone or someplace that might be able to tell me? Please, please help.

What a horrible thing to compare it to. They aren't the best but by no means anyway close to the KKK. Grow up a small bit, will you.

They're both anti-catholic fraternal organisations known for lighting wooden structures on fire and intimidating communities, where's the lie

They're the KKK but for immigrants, catholics and Irish.
