DUP leader Gavin Robinson calls the decision a 'significant and long-overdue breakthrough,' while Sinn Féin Vice President Michelle O'Neill condemns it as having 'no reasonable or logical basis' and calls the march 'steeped in a history of hate, sectarian violence and murder.' Garvaghy Road residents say they are 'furious' and fearful about the weekend.
“This is a significant and long-overdue breakthrough for Portadown District and the wider unionist community.”
