Newry plans more protests
Three thousand people took to the streets of Newry on Sunday in
solidarity with the nationalists of the Garvaghy Road. People
marched behind banners saying `Dismantle the Orange State' and
`Disband the RUC' to a rally outside the Ardmore RUC barracks on
the Belfast Road.
They were addressed by Sinn Féin Councillor Pat McNamee and Gary
Jones, spokesperson for Newry Residents Coalition Against
Sectarian Marches.
A further march and rally is planned for Newry on Friday night
(assembling at 7.00pm at Soho Car Park) and on Saturday morning
there will be protests at three Orange marches which are planned
to pass through the 95% nationalist town.
