Position Statement Update

15 July 1998

We reiterate the importance of our position statement released July 12. We believe people have not fully considered this. It is therefore regrettable that selective quotes have only be used to satisfy media sound bites.

We contend that the government and the security forces know who were behind the violence obviously orchestrated at Drumcree. We ask who has the capabilities to make and use blast bombs, it is certainly not the Orange Order!

We repudiate the government for introducing into the House of Commons today a spurious element of conflict where none exists on the Agreement.

Outrageous statements such as made today by Adam Ingram connecting the horrific and tragic murder of the young Quinn brothers to the peaceful protests involving Drumcree are contemptible and hostile towards the Institution. We condemn this type of cheap remark as both distasteful and dangerous. Such careless remarks can encourage further attacks on both our members and their property.

Our principles demonised by anyone. We appeal to people to listen to us thereby opening up avenues of understanding.
