Letter: Ireland will not be bullied into silence
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: The Chief Constable of the RUC took the correct decision to allow 1,300 Orangemen to march through Garvaghy Road. I quote from Sir Hugh Annesley's statement: "There was a bulldozer, perhaps the potential for more." To stop that bulldozer breaking a barricade of barbed wire and concrete blocks it would have been necessary to shoot at the driver. Does anyone except the IRA consider their cause to be furthered by the martyrdom of an Orangeman and the subsequent mayhem throughout the province?
