Loyal Orders Meet With SDLP

2 May 2006

A senior delegation from three of the Loyal Orders this afternoon held a groundbreaking talks with members of the nationalist SDLP as the latest in an ongoing series of meetings with a wide range of interested bodies to address the difficulties surrounding parades and other high impact public events.

The eight-man delegation was led by Robert Saulters, Grand Master of the Orange Order, William Logan, Sovereign Grand Master of the Royal Black Institution and David McConaghie of the Independent Orange Order.

Drew Nelson, Grand Secretary of the Orange Order, who was also present at the meeting at Stormont’s Parliament Buildings, said: “We wanted to explain to the SDLP our view that the present legislative framework governing parades in Northern Ireland is fundamentally flawed and can be improved upon.

“This preliminary meeting provided for an honest exchange of views and we believe it was constructive. The SDLP has agreed to meet with us again in the near future.”
