An Orange summit involving representatives from all districts will be a chance to "blow off some steam", a senior Orange Order source has said.
A special meeting of the Grand Lodge has been called for Thursday January 30, to discuss The New Decade, New Approach deal which restored the Assembly.
Previously the Order expressed opposition to what they called the 'weaponising' of the Irish language through a proposed standalone Irish language act and Irish language commissioner contained in the deal.
They also said they would take time to digest the contents of the deal and consult with their members.
In yesterday News Letter Markethill District LOL No 10, broke ranks by speaking out saying that while Irish "should be respected" it opposes protections for the language in the new deal.
It also said the proposed Ulster-Scots/British commissioner "had not been requested by its community" saying it was ill-thought out.
The Orange Order has not made any official statement regarding the meeting, but a senior source told the Irish News on Friday that the summit would be a chance for members to "blow off steam" about aspects of the new deal.
"This is not a political party bashing exercise, we have members who are Official Unionists, DUP and TUV.
"All the unionist parties have went back into the assembly including Jim Allister, no one went into opposition, so it is what it is and so we now have to look forward, to assess what scope there is in this deal for the promotion of our culture.
"We never asked for anything from the deal nor did we issue any demands, we were not going to be seen as doing a trade off for an Irish language act.
"There is a lot of anger, people are not pleased and I would expect the summit to be rough enough" the Orange Order source added.
