Sinn Féin councillor Paul Duffy has welcomed a decision by the Parades Commission not to grant permission for a divisive and contentious parade down the Garvaghy Road.
He said: “The determination by the Parades Commission that the Portadown Lodge will not be given permission to march down the Garvaghy Road is the right decision and I welcome that.
“For 26 years the people of the Garvaghy Road have enjoyed peace since contentious parades were prevented from going through the area.
“This most recent application was a stunt, it was arrogant, insulting and derogatory and designed to increase tensions and cause division.
“The people of the Garvaghy Road have worked to foster stronger and better cross-community relations with our neighbours and have no desire to return to the divisions of the past.”
