Orange Order Condemns Attacks On Community Halls

9 November 2008

The Orange Order has repeated its condemnation of arson attacks on community halls.

"We condemn all attacks on halls in our community without reservation. And we appeal for no retaliation.

"Retaliation is always a trap and the people who are burning our Orange Halls will be the ones who will be most pleased if misguided people from the Protestant community retaliate.

"We call in the strongest possible terms for people to stay calm and not to react to provocation.
"Leave it up to the police to investigate all arson attacks and put whatever resources they need to apprehend those responsible for these illegal acts."
