Opposition To Minister Of Education

9 December 1999

The Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland, at its meeting in Belfast today, has expressed its revulsion and total opposition to the appointment of Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness as Minister of Education in the new Northern Ireland Assembly Executive.

We believe that the moral and lawful implications of accepting as overseer of our children's education a man who has been involved in serious criminal activity are far-reaching, detrimental to sound Christian principles and to the good governance of Northern Ireland.

Elevating such a person to a position of high authority and importance sets a very bad example to the youth of our country who are continually urged to learn to become good citizens and to uphold the principles of a lawful and peaceful society.

The Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland will not countenance any contact with the new Education Minister by its membership on behalf of the Orange Institution.
