Gerry Adams: lettera aperta a Orange Order

Adams open letter to Orange chief

Gerry Adams has written an open letter to Orange Order Grand Secretary Drew Nelson in which he calls for direct talks between the two organisations.

Gerry Adams, Sinn FeinEarlier this month, Mr Nelson, said there was “no prospect” of the two leaderships meeting.

“As grand secretary you call for ‘Respect’. This I fully endorse,” said Mr Adams in the open letter made available to the media on Friday.

“But respect, if it is to be meaningful, must be mutual.”

Mr Adams continued: “Accordingly, I would call for mutual respect between all parties to parading disputes.

“If the Orange Order seeks ‘respect’ from others, then it in turn must respect the views of those who differ from them, and address their concerns in a peaceful and dignified way.

“This applies particularly to parades through or fringing sensitive areas, where little or no respect has been shown to local residents.”

Mr Nelson has previously said if Sinn Fein was “sincere” about talks, Mr Adams would first apologise for the murders of Orangemen by the IRA.
