Alan McLean succede a Cyril Glass, in carica dal 2007

Nominato il nuovo Grand Master dell’Independent Orange Order.
E’ Alan McLean, le cui prime parole sono state: “The Independent Loyal Orange istituzione è sempre stato felice di collaborare fraternamente con le istituzioni sorelle e di lavorare con colleghi unionisti nel più ampio interesse unionista”.
“Questa è una cosa che noi continueremo a fare”, ha aggiunto.
“Sono anche impaziente di lavorare con i leaders unionisti per contribuire a garantire quelle libertà e come parte di quanto serve per ottenere l’abolizione della Parades Commission che speravamo potesse era abolita da ora”.
McLean succede a Cyril Glass che fu eletto Grand Master nel 2007 dopo la morte di George Dawson.

Alan McLean has become the new grand master of the Independent Orange Order.
Mr McLean succeeds Cyril Glass who had served as grand master since the death of George Dawson in 2007.
The Independent Orange Order was founded in 1903, by those “who opposed the Orange Order being used for party political ends”.
The new grand master said while maintaining the organisation’s idependent identity, he would work together with other unionists.
“The Independent Loyal Orange Institution has always been happy to co-operate fraternally with other sister institutions and to work with fellow unionists in the wider unionist interest.
“That is something that we shall continue to do,” he said.
“I also look forward to working with unionist leaders to help secure those liberties and as part of that that to obtain the abolition of the Parades Commission which we hoped would have been abolished by now.”
