Orange Order Condemns Sectarian Attacks

9 July 2009

The Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland has issued a statement about sectarian attacks on Catholic churches, and another arson attack on Greenisland Orange Hall in Belfast.

"We condemn without reservation these sectarian attacks which are designed to create community tension.

"The people who attack our property or those who attack catholic churches must be handed over to the police. Their actions are despicable and must be condemned by everyone.

"The people who attack catholic churches do not speak for the Protestant community.

"There are evil people on all sides in the community who want to cause strife and create havoc but it is up to the law-abiding population to make sure they do not have their way."
