The Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland has issued
the following statement to the media, who have followed up
today's story in the News Letter that members of Portadown
District L.O.L. have met the Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams.
"We have just become aware through the media that a
meeting has taken place between some Portadown District Officers
and Gerry Adams.
While we understand the frustration that has built up among
the officers and members of Portadown District over the continued
refusal of their Drumcree parade, we do not believe that clandestine
meetings are in the best interest of the institution."
