Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland – Agreed Statement 23rd March 2024

The Grand Lodge of Ireland, meeting in Donegal on Saturday 23rd March have reiterated their opposition to the continued outworkings of the Northern Ireland Protocol.

The members present cautiously acknowledged the political developments in respect of the ‘Safeguarding the Union’ command paper, but withheld further judgment pending the delivery of tangible progress on implementation around key issues of concern.

Furthermore, the Grand Lodge called on all Unionist elected representatives, regardless of party affiliation, to work together in common cause so as to effectively provide representation and resources for the Unionist community.
