Loyal Orders Response To 'Political Deal'

The Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland and the Royal Black Institution will now examine in detail the aspects of the political agreement involving public assemblies and parades.

Our initial reaction is that it is a positive step forward and we are pleased that people have been focusing on the issue of parading.

Everyone must now work to find the best regulatory system surrounding public assemblies and parades and we remain committed to playing a continuing and constructive part in that.
