Ireland

Grand Orient Of Ireland seems to be a one lodge organisation (Wolf Tone which is numbered 3) stating: “Liberal Freemasonry accepts applications for membership from all people regardless of gender, race or orientation. we have no requirement for a belief in a supreme being believing that to be a personal matter and of no concern to the Order.”

Note from a reader (July 19):

The Grand Orient of Ireland operates 3 Lodges, 2 are “blue Lodges ” Tricolour No.1, Wolfe Tone No. 3 and 1 ” red Lodge” Keystone No 5, which is a Mark Lodge. All Lodges meet on a regular basis in Cork and Kerry,

And another reader (April 20):

Only Wolfe Tone lodge is working but seems to be inactive.
The Grand Orient of Ireland has split off from the Grand Masonic Orient of Ireland after a coup organised by a few members but shows no knowledge of Freemasonry.
The Grand Masonic Orient of Ireland is about to be reorganised again.

Ireland also has a lodge named after the Irish woman that was initiated in the 18th century “Lodge Elizabeth Saint Leger”. The lodge meets in Dublin and uses “the Lauderdale ritual”.

Le Droit Humain has been working in Ireland since 1927, with activity from the 1920s to the late 60s in Dublin Ireland. The Irish charters were revived in the 1980s and operated in Northern Ireland. Lodge St. Patrick, in Newtownards is still in operation in Northern Ireland. Lodge Elizabeth Saint Leger has been in operation since 2012, initially as a pioneer lodge and more recently, in appreciation of the close and supportive relationship with the British federation, as a body under the British Federation of LDH.

The work of Lodge Elizabeth Saint Leger is adogmatic, introspective and esoteric, and informed by liberal, inclusive and future oriented orientations of Freemasonry.
