Description
After the King’s visit to Belfast, Lloyd George and de Valera finally agree a truce to allow treaty negotiations to get underway. Meanwhile the annual Twelfth parades take place amid a feeling of betrayal from Orange Order members in Donegal, Cavan and Monaghan who have been left out of the newly-created Northern Ireland. Tara visits the Orange Order’s museum and hears how the institution is inextricably linked with James Craig and many of those who will go on to wield power in Northern Ireland.
