RSF will oppose Loyalist march

Reacting to the announcement that loyalist Willie Frazier is to meet with senior gardai in 26-County government buildings on June 21 to seek permission to hold a loyalist march or rally in Dublin, possibly in July, Republican Sinn F�in pledged to oppose such an event. A previous attempt to force a loyalist march through O'Connell St in February 2006 had to be abandoned due to the scale of the protest.

In a statement Republican Sinn F�in Vice President Des Dalton said: "Republican Sinn F�in will publicly protest at any attempt to once again impose a loyalist march on the people of Dublin.

"Every year the nationalist people of the Six-Counties are terrorised and imprisoned in their homes and communities by sectarian and triumphalist orange/loyalist marches. Homes, schools and churches are regularly attacked by loyalists.

"Bringing such a march to Dublin it is an attempt to legitimise the religious bigotry and intolerance of loyalism as well as further marginalising the nationalist people of the Six-Counties who suffer directly at the hands of loyalists.

"We view a loyalist march in Dublin, like the proposed visit to the 26-Counties by the Queen of England, as part of the ongoing campaign to normalise British Rule in Ireland."
