POOLE’S COMMENTS ON ORANGE HALL ATTACKS ARE PURILE SAYS UUP PARADES SPOKESMAN
Ulster Unionist Party Parades Spokesman Michael Copeland toady said that comments made by Parades Commission Chairman Roger Poole, who condemned the recent spate of attacks on Orange Halls, were facile, purile and transparent.
In a statement Mr Copeland said,
“The organisation led by Mr Poole represents and remains an un-decommissioned element in the war of cultural attrition being wages against the Orange Institution.
Mr Poole cannot escape the responsibility for his organisation’s role in the previous and continuing demonisation of those involved in the Northern Irish parading tradition.”
