State funds for Orange Order

Madam, - Tim O'Halloran (February 6th) is correct

Madam, - Tim O'Halloran (February 6th) is correct. Rightly condemning the moronic burning of Orange halls is one thing, but funding Ireland's answer to the Ku Klux Klan is taking it too far.

Rewarding a self-confessed sectarian organisation which bans its members from Catholic pubs, shops and business is taking the new dispensation to extremes.
