Meaningful dialogue is solution to future loyal order parades - Boylan

Published: 17 July, 2009

Newry/Armagh Sinn Féin assembly member Cathal Boylan has said that meaningful dialogue must open between residents and the organisers of loyal order parades in Keady.

Mr Boylan who is a native of the South Armagh town said,

"There is a responsibility on the organisers of the annual church parade to enter into dialogue. Indeed it would be welcomed as a sign of mature leadership.

However, over the last number of years there has been a failure to meet this challenge.''

"I would urge all those in responsible positions to facilitate constructive discussions to address this contentious issue and in light of the recent parade

It would be my intention to meet with the parades commission to discuss a way forward in the determination of future parades''
