Castlederg Ógra Shinn Féin has written to An Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern regarding “the unacceptably high number of Orange parades through the County Tyrone town.”
Ógra Shinn Féin Spokesperson Grace Lynch said “In our letter we asked the Taoiseach what his office is going to do to ensure that the rights of nationalists in Castlederg are upheld, given the conduct of Orange marches in the town in the past number of years. Determinations made by the parades commission are not worth the paper they are written on. Facilitated by the PSNI, Orange marchers insist in parading through nationalist areas of the town, such as Ferguson Cresent. Indeed the Good Friday Agreement guarantees the right of every Citizen to live ‘Free from sectarian harassment’”
