Review Of Parades Commission

8 October 1999

The Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland, has stated in an initial response to the announcement that the Government are "taking stock of the experience of the last two years" with reference to the Parades Commission.

The Grand Lodge and in particular its senior Officers on behalf of the Institution have, for two years, been making the case that the Parades Commission have been part of the problem rather than part of the solution.

We welcome the fact that there appears to be some recognition on the part of Government that Grand Lodge was correct in its assessment. However we are conscious that a review in itself is meaningless unless it is far ranging and takes on board the need for a change in legislation. A mere change in personnel is not what is required.

We have continually been pressing Goverment for change and we will undoubtedly take the opportunity of the review to again present the case for civil liberty.
