Disbelief at Lurgan parade decision

The Parades Commission decision to allow an Apprentice Boys parade up and down William Street in Lurgan has been described by Sinn Féin Assembly member Dara O'Hagan as unbelievable.

The Sinn Féin Assembly member for Upper Bann said: ``There has been no consultation with local residents. There can be no possible justification for this parade being allowed to march. It is designed to cause the maximum offence possible.''

``The people of William Street are furious that the Parades Commission is allowing this march to proceed up and then back down their street.''
