Order Says Victims Voice Must Be Heard

19 January 2006

The Orange Order said today it would encourage its members to attend the planned Victims Rally to be held in Dublin next month.

But a spokesman for the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland stressed that the rally, scheduled for 25 February, was not being organised by the Order, and that those members who wanted to attend should not wear Orange regalia so that the focus of the event remained firmly fixed on victims groups.

"There are many victims groups throughout Northern Ireland that do tremendous work with those who have suffered, and are still suffering, as the result of the violence of the last 36 years", said the Order's spokesman.

"Their efforts, often with limited resources, deserve support as they deal daily with the reality of bereavement and shattered lives. That's why we shall be encouraging our members to attend the rally as individuals. It is important that the voice of the victims is heard in Dublin."

The Order's Grand Master, Robert Saulters said: ""For to long the hurt and pain of victims has been ignored and those who caused such misery appeased by the Government. The time for pandering to the whims of Republicans must end, enough is enough."
