Harryville - sectarian picket to resume
Sinn Fein's north Antrim councillor, James McCarry, has reacted
angrily to Joel Patten's announcement that the picketing of the
Catholic church in Harryville, Ballymena, will be resumed.
Patten, who is leader of the ultra-loyalist Spirit of Drumcree
Orangemen, issued the announcement after the Parades Commission's
decision to reroute the Orange march at Drumcree away from the
Garvaghy Road.
McCarry branded Patten's remarks ``a blatant act of sectarian
discrimination designed to pressurise not just the massgoers but
the Garvaghy Road residents and indeed the whole nationalist
population.''
He urged the people of Ballymena to support the Harryville
massgoers to ensure that ``they are not intimidated from their
place of worship.''
