Grand Master Delighted With "Truly Glorious Twelfth"

12 July 2005

The Head of the Orange Order this evening spoke of his delight with what he called "a truly glorious, hugely well-attended and overwhelmingly peaceful Twelfth."

But Robert Saulters, Grand Master of the Order, also condemned as outrageous the discovery of a bomb on the railway line near Moira in Co. Armagh, and a seven-hour illegal protest by nationalists at Dunloy in Co. Antrim.

" Once again, at Moira and at Dunloy, republicans have displayed their true sectarian colours," said Mr. Saulters. "Gerry Adams talked this morning about good manners and neighbourliness, and said he defended our right to parade. Those who, in the name of a united Ireland of equals, plant bombs and stop a small group of elderly men from driving to church to lay a wreath have no manners and want only to terrorise their neighbours."

"Thankfully, their actions didn't ruin a fantastic day of celebration enjoyed by tens of thousands of people right across Northern Ireland."
