In this episode Tim and David ask was the Orange Order a force for good? In 1849 the Order was
involved in a violent marching dispute at Dolly's Brae in County Down. The 1840s saw a revival in the Orange Order, a failed rebellion in 1848 by the Young Irelander's and rising sectarian tensions.
The Dolly's Brae skirmish led to the death of a number of Catholics and became a big boost for the
Order.

Tim will argue that the Orange Order have always been in the vanguard of stoking sectarian
tensions and symbolises the desire for dominance over Catholics. David believes we cannot take one incident in isolation. The Order has had a strong positive influence within Protestantism and it had calmed down fears of absorption. Without it, David argues, there would have been less control and the Order was appealing to the authorities on occasions such as 1798 because it could be used to maintain order. They both visit Conway Square in Newtownards where deputy Grand Master William Johnston paraded in 1867, Tim travels to Castlewellan to the scene of Dolly's Brae and David visits the scene of an Orange procession in 1813 at Hercules Street in Belfast which led to violence.
