The Grand Master of the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland, Robert
Saulters, has condemned vandalism caused to cars parked outside
the Orange Hall in Enniskillen.
The attack took place last week when people were attending
an event in the Orange Hall on the Tempo Road. Twelve cars
were damaged by someone using a sharp metal object.
"I was actually attending the function in the Orange
Hall when the attacks took place. This was more than a one-off
piece of vandalism," the Grand Master said.
"I believe it was sectarian and well organised. The
people who damaged the cars knew who they belonged to.
"We were attending a function, along with local council
officials, to mark the end of Educating Ourselves - a project
where 200 people from Fermanagh studied the values, traditions
and history of the Orange Order.
"These people were trying to learn about their culture
while others were trying to intimidate them. I would like
anyone with any information to go to the police and I would
expect all right-thinking people to condemn what happened."
