Violence Must Stop

10 July 2000

The Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland has reiterated its condemnation of violence.

It is appreciated that in a democratic society there is a right of peaceful protest. There is however no place for violence.

Not only is violence morally wrong but damages the legitimate cause of Portadown District L.O.L. No. 1 as they attempt to have their civil liberties restored.

The protests called for this afternoon by Portadown District must be peaceful, and it is the responsibility of the local organisers to ensure this is the case. It is essential that protests are not used by malcontents, who have no real interest in the Orange Institution, as a cover for violence.

To those who have or would engage in violence we can only say STOP. You are not acting on our behalf. Your actions damage an honourable cause.
