Sir Robert George Caldwell Kinahan, ERD (24 September 1916 – 2 May 1997) was a Northern Irish unionist politician, businessman and a senior member of the Orange Order. In his obituary, he was described as one of the last of the "county elite" to remain a high-ranking member of the Orange Order during the turbulent years of The Troubles, when it became potentially dangerous to belong. In his personal life he deplored bigotry and was almost expelled from the Orange Order for having attended a Roman Catholic funeral service.[1]
