Before turning to some Protestant views of modern Ireland and to the failure of the Orange Order to celebrate the centenary of its’ foundation, perhaps it is worth giving a picture of the Irish Protestants seen from the eyes of a distinguished English politician, Lord Hailsham, who married Mary Martin of the old Norman family of Martins of Ross in Lough Corrib, related to Violet Martin of Sommerville and Ross fame. He wrote:

Mary and her family had all the best qualities of Southern Irish Protestants: a steely loyalty to one another and to the Crown, an unshakeable personal courage, a nice sense of fun, and great personal courage. They lack the fierce Calvinism and garrison mentality of the Protestants of the North. They are wholly without fanaticism. They take their own Protestant Christianity for granted without flaunting their faith in the face of different persuasions. They treat the English with amused affection, but are as different from them as the Scots and the Welsh. They bitterly resent Sinn Féin, who have exiled them from their old homes.60
