Orange Order urges Mary McAleese
to condemn Protestant Attacks
The Orange Order is urging Irish President Mary McAleese
to publicly condemn attacks against Protestants in the
Republic during her visit to Northern Ireland yesterday.
The call follows two weekend attacks on Protestant Halls
near Glaslough and Tydavent in County Monaghan in the
Republic of Ireland which caused thousands of pounds worth
of damage.
Vandals are thought to have used a sledge hammer to break
down the door of the Mullrpike Protestant Hall and once
inside smashed windows, wrecked furniture and a fireplace
and even punched holes in the building's plastic dry-lining.
In the second attack, at nearby Corragh Orange Hall, windows
were also smashed and the front door damaged.
An Orange Order spokesman said. "This is not the
first time these two halls have been vandalised and, sadly,
we suspect it won't be the last time that Irish Protestants
are subjected to sectarian attacks."
"If Mary McAleese cares at all about helping to bring
peace to this island, we call on her not only to condemn
the attacks on the minority community in County Mongahan,
but also to use her influence to persuade nationalists
in Northern Ireland to embrace Protestant Culture traditions
like Saturdays proposed Whiterock parade. News Letter
