The "lodge" in Northern Ireland would unanimously be referring to the "Orange Lodge". The orange lodge was the meeting place of an exclusively non catholic organisation formed sometime in the late 1800s as an organisation that would attract the working class protestant loyalist. The Orange order organised itself in lodges throughout northern Ireland, each lodge having its identity by number.Membership of the lodge was limited to protestants only and the orange order grew to be very influential in the protestant communities. They eventually overtook the clergy as moral directors of the protestant faiths, with the clergy seccumbing to participating in the orange doctrate and events in order to maintain position of acceptance within the protestant faiths.The orange order played heavily on sectarianism, historical rhetoric and fears of the simple working class protestant in a heavily dominated catholic island. Politicians were heavily involved within the "lodge" ensuring that the party line was being managed right down to the grass roots working class.
