Kelly on parades working group


Sinn Féin MLA Gerry Kelly who is part of the Assembly working group set up to look at contentious parades said he hopes to see a situation where residents living in areas affected by parades will be able to take part in meaningful dialogue on any dispute.
“We need to make it clear that no-one believes there is a miracle cure for contentious parades like the Garvaghy Road, Ardoyne and the Ormeau Road,” he said.
“However, we are trying to set up an improved structure. Issues can be sorted out on a local basis with dialogue.
“We hope to improve on the lessons of the Parades Commission and build on the Strategic Review of Parading report. We have always supported residents in their need for dialogue.
“This will be about protecting human and civic rights for all people to live free from sectarian harassment.”
