Branches in Ireland

The AOH also has a large number of branches in Ireland itself. - from the article.

It does? Is there any evidence we can point to to support this? - Pete C ^✍ 22:23, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have been to several of the AOH halls in Derry and have shirts from the Hall in Derry. There are AOH halls in Derry, Belfast, Dublin and Galway that I know of. The AOH state chapter as it were is know as the Board of Erin. They have votes at the National Convetion just like any other state. Contact information can be found by contacting the national office.

Hi I am a member of the AOH National Board, the Board of Erin, in Ireland. Perhaps I can help with some of the queries etc that you have. Ask me any question about the AOH and I will try to give you the information you need / require.

is it possible to find out about the history of a particular sash? 92.10.234.192 (talk) 17:23, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The AOH originates in Ireland. The AOH in America got it's charter from the AOH in Ireland. The AOH has been known by various names since its origins in 1565.

Local units of the AOH are called Divisions. In Ireland Divisions are numbered sequentially. There were at one time hundreds of divisions in Ireland. There are currently AOH divisions in Donegal, Derry, Antrim, Tyrone, Down, Armagh, Monaghan, Leitrim, Louth, dublin, cork and a few other places. There are county Boards and aProvincial Board in Ulster as well as the National board - The board of Erin. the HQ of the AOH is in Foyle St. Derry - home of AOH Division no.1.

Background section

The first paragraph of the Background in Ireland section, besides being grammatically all over the place, says that the "1565" version "is not supported by any modern academic historians of the period." Why have it, then? I'll axe the paragraph if nobody has any reasonable objection. Scolaire (talk) 13:02, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The new version, while it is both less fanciful and properly sourced, is a very long and I'm afraid rather confusing sentence: "The tradition of Ribbonism, possibly dating back to the 1830s in Ulster, gradually evolved into a more open and respectable Ancient Order of Hibernians, a key note of the new Ribbonism of the 1890s, in its search for acceptance by the Church, organised under its Grandmaster Joseph Devlin (later Member of Parliament) of Belfast." Does it mean that ribbonism was a closed and unrespectable Ancient Order of Hibernians, or that it evolved into a more open and respectable form as the AOH? If the latter, what was the nature of this evolution? Was Joe Devlin a ribbonman who effected this evolution, as the run-on sentence suggests? How can an organisation be a key note of something? To what does "acceptance by the church" refer, since the church has not previously been mentioned? Some clarification would be welcome. Scolaire (talk) 13:52, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am linking a more accurate history prepared by the AOH in 2020 - the link is https://aoh.com/aoh-history/ - prepared by its National Historian Mike McCormack.78.17.2.37 (talk) 20:44, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernian s (LAOH) is not an Auxiliary of the AOH

The Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernian's is not an Auxiliary of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. Since 2004 they have been incorporated on their own as Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians, Inc. ^[1]. Recommend that the LAOH sections please be removed and a separate LAOH article be created. Ncosgrov (talk) 16:03, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In popular culture

should an In popular culture section be added?

this organization is sometimes referred to in satire as being part of a conspiracy involving banks and multinational corporations. And likely nonexistent books such as Mein Streachailt or “'The elders of Hibernia and their protocols'” is often mentioned as these usually parody anti-zionist literature and propaganda.

Basically the meme says that the Irish are responsible for things that Jewish are blamed for

Popular culture where? In Buenos Aires and Nizhni-Novgorod? I think not.78.17.2.37 (talk) 20:41, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
