ORANGE ORDER SEEKS MEETING WITH US CONSUL ON COLUMBIA THREE

7 September 2005

THE ORANGE ORDER has asked for a meeting with the US Consul in Northern Ireland to discuss the future of the three IRA men convicted of terrorist offences in Columbia.

In a letter to Dean Pittman, the Order says it wants to know what efforts the American Government is making to ensure that the so-called Columbia Three are extradited back to Bogot� from the Irish Republic where they resurfaced in mysterious circumstances last month.

The Order has also written to the Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, and to the Prime Minister Tony Blair expressing its concern that the three IRA men may be allowed to escape justice in spite of the Irish and British governments' stated commitment to the war against global terrorism.

In its letter to Mr. Ahern, the Order says: "Please advise us of your views on links between republican terrorism and other terrorist organisations, and whether the Republic of Ireland feels that these are acceptable or permissible in the present climate."
