I started to like Toxic and Doomed Brakey:)

All I can say is that they lowkey were just not for each other.

President Mary McAleese made a landmark visit to Brakey Orange Hall, Bailieborough, Co Cavan in 2008. She said: "Here this morning, in the presence of Henry Latimer, a good Cavan man, a good Irish man and a good Orangeman, many of these strands come together. Perhaps here in Brakey Orange Hall this morning it's a good time and place to acknowledge how far we have come in the last 10 years, since the signing of the Good Friday Agreement and to pledge that the journey of peace-building and peace-making will and must continue. We have taken the first important steps towards ending the bitter culture of Either-Or, of Them Versus Us. Now we must build a new culture of Both, each accepting that there are different perspectives and practices, each patient with the other as we get to know each other better in a growing spirit of understanding and outreach. It is possible to be both Irish and British, possible to be both Orange and Irish. We face into a landscape of new possibilities and understandings. The momentum of these times is, of course, difficult for some and so they lash out in intemperate acts of vandalism that have been visited on some Orange Halls, including Brakey."
