That's because the so called "Orange" Irish are Brits. They are mostly decedents of Scottish and English settlers who were sent their to rule over the catholic Irish mixed in with some collaborators. Of course they don't want to see a united Ireland, they've always been treated as a superior class to the regular Irish. I've said this once and I'll say it again, the British crown has no place on that Island.
