Memo from Veronica Sutherland on Irish reactions to Drumcree, 12 July 1996

Writing Peace: The National Archives of the UK (TNA)

This telegram, sent by British Ambassador to Ireland Veronica Sutherland on 12 July 1996, details the various Irish reactions to the events of the Drumcree crisis. It stated that the RUC's [Royal Ulster Constabulary] decision to let the Orange Order march pass Garvaghy Road had received condemnation from all sides in Ireland, from both members of the Government and the opposition parties. She also noted that Cardinal Cahal Daly had also commented that he shared the feelings of betrayal of the residents of Garvaghy Road, and gave summaries of articles on the Drumcree crisis that were featured in major Irish dailies. She recorded that a group of demonstrators had gathered outside the British Embassy in Dublin the previous evening for an hour, and that three youths had thrown a petrol bomb at the old Embassy building. Further, the Embassy was receiving a steady stream of calls by people, the majority of whom believed that Chief Constable Hugh Annesley's decision had been politically, instead of operationally, driven.
