Republican Sinn Féin in North Armagh has criticised recent talks between the Provisionals and Orangemen in Portadown. A spokesman for the Thomas Harte Cumann said that they were opposed to the forcing of an Orange march down the Garvaghy Road.

“Gerry Adams – a man from West Belfast – has no right to negotiate on behalf of the people of North Armagh. He certainly does not speak for us,” he said.

“We are aware that a large number of people in the area have expressed their continued opposition to an Orange march being forced through Nationalist areas, which is the ultimate objective of the current talks.

“Whilst Orangemen have been banned from marching down the Garvaghy Road this year, we fear that there are moves afoot to ensure that they are able to march freely along it next year. Republican Sinn Féin will continue to support those who oppose these triumphalist sectarian demonstrations.”
