The Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland notes with profound disappointment the decision of the Secretary of State to overrule the legally established rights of Portadown District Orange Lodge No. 1.
This unprecedented action, and the abdication of responsibility by the Chief Constable, can be seen as nothing more than a capitulation to the threat of mob rule and violence. In stark contrast, the Brethren of Portadown have complied with the rule of law, exercised restraint and maintained a dignified and resolute stand in the face of intimidation and intolerance.
It is evident that those who, in defiance of the law, have been content to stand alongside the representatives of those who murdered 345 of our members, have no interest in extending any degree of tolerance or respect towards those who share an Orange heritage. Furthermore, it is evident that the statutory authorities have neither the will or ability to uphold the law in this instance.
We commend the Brethren of Portadown for their resolute stand and reinforce their message that this is a time for responsibility and lawfulness. We cannot undermine our cause by adopting the illegal and offensive actions of our opponents.
Urgent meetings with both the Secretary of State and Chief Constable will be sought in the coming days where their decision making and actions in this matter will be robustly challenged.

Statement issued by Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland

The Grand Orange Lodge Ireland is committed to the rule of law prevailing in our land. That premise assumes that no one, regardless of their position, should be considered above the law.

The Brethren of Portadown have chosen to pursue a legal and principled approach challenging the Parades Commission's long-standing refusal to allow the completion of their traditional route.
The legal outcome, after challenges and appeals, remains that there is no lawful reason to stop the parade proceeding.

Disappointingly, nationalism and republicanism, including many individuals who hold key political offices, decided that the law is only to be adhered to and enforced when it is supporting their views.

There are now major political questions to be asked about the illegal actions and subsequent repercussions of a number of elected representives. There is no shortage of evidence of illegality, and we therefore anticipate a swift response which holds lawbreakers to account for their actions.

Whilst we acknowledge the difficult situation faced by Police; their duty is to uphold the law. If the safety of our 35 Brethren cannot be guaranteed, then PSNI need to make that clear and admit that they are unable to police the potential actions of those taking part in the illegal protest. Such a failure has echoes of the high-profile paramilitary funeral during covid and will do little to dispel the view that there are different policing approaches and decisions.

It has been encouraging to see political Unionism speak collaboratively on this matter and we trust that they will now bring collective scrutiny of the actions of others.

The events of the last 36 hours have shown that despite the warm overtures and talk of a shared future, many within political nationalism still cannot, and will not tolerate Orange and Unionist rights as a legitimate part of the cultural fabric of our shared and complex history.

GOLI Officers remain in regular communication with Portadown District and local elected representatives and will continue to offer support as required.
