The Parades Commission

17 October 1997

The publication by Her Majesty's Government of the views of the Parades Commission is viewed with utter dismay by the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland. We find it totally reprehensible that the British Labour Party who would claim to uphold the principles of freedom could propose draconian Legislation so contrary to the principles of Civil Liberty.

Could it be that once again the hand of Dublin and the Maryfield Secretariat are at work influencing and directing the internal affairs of this part of the United Kingdom?

This should not really surprise anyone given this week's Press reports.

The proposed Legislation despite a smoke screen of opposition voiced by the so called Residents Groups is a further concession to the fascist tactics of Sinn Fein/I.R.A.

It is long past time that the Government listened to the ordinary law abiding people of Northern Ireland rather than continually pandering to militant Republicans.

There is nothing in this Legislation for us and we reject totally the thinking that allows our faith, tradition, and culture to be treated with such contempt.
