PSNI RESPONSE TO NATIONALIST ATTACKS ON ORANGEMEN "PATHETIC & SCANDALOUS"

10 September 2005

The County Grand Orange Lodge of Belfast has described the PSNI's failure to stop nationalist attacks on Orangemen in the city this afternoon as scandalous.

As the Whiterock parade got underway, nationalists launched a series of unprovoked attacks on Orangemen at various points including the Albertbridge Road and the Grosvenor Road.

Orangemen said that when they approached the Grosvenor Road there was only one police vehicle there and the PSNI was powerless to protect them.

A spokesman for the Order said: "Yesterday, ACC Duncan McCausland gave repeated assurances to the public via media interviews that he had sufficient manpower and resources to deal with any eventuality that might arise. Clearly Mr. McCausland is not up to managing the situation and containing nationalists bent on causing trouble. The PSNI's response to these troublemakers is both scandalous and pathetic".
