 An Phoblacht: Letters
Last year, the majority unionist council voted to exclude all non-unionists from positions of Chair and Vice-Chair from all council committees, as well as seizing the posts of Mayor and Deputy Mayor for unionism.
This policy of exclusion sends a clear message to nationalists that they are not welcome in Lisburn, and sends an equally clear message to loyalist paramilitaries active in the city that nationalists are not to be respected or treated as equals.
The refusal of all shades of political unionism to endorse power-sharing in Lisburn is indicative of the ambivalence within political unionism towards the basic principles of equality and parity of esteem which underpin the Good Friday Agreement.
