The DUP labelled the people of the Garvaghy Road a “rabble” & a “lawless mob”.
Now Jim Allister says the Garvaghy Road should be “sanitised”.
Unionist leaders are in a race to the bottom, trying to outdo each other with reckless & sectarian comments about nationalist people.
But our message is clear:
The days of the Garvaghy Road community, & nationalists across the north, being treated as second-class citizens are gone.
And those days are not coming back.
Not now. Not ever.

The unwanted orange march will not go ahead.
Today is for the residents of the Garvaghy Road who have stood tall, proud & determined.
Well done! And thank you.
There will be no going back.
Not now. Not ever!

Today belongs to the people of the Garvaghy Road.
28 years of peace and progress has been protected.
Sinn Féin was proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Garvaghy Road community.
People from every background and every corner of Ireland have delivered a clear and unambiguous message: our society will not be dragged back into the past.
There Is No Going Back.
Not Now. Not Ever!

The British Secretary of State must step in and stop this unwanted march.
The fear and trauma being inflicted on the Garvaghy Road community is wrong.
Chris Bryant can stop it.
28 years of peace must be protected.
The residents of Garvaghy Road must be allowed to live free from sectarian harassment.
No going back!

The A5 road has been given the green light.
Today is about the families who have so tragically lost loved ones along this route.
There can be no more delays.
This life-saving project must now move forward at pace.
Sinn Féin has backed the A5 from day one and through Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins, we will keep working to see it delivered.

I will not tolerate the DUP and the orange order treating the people of the Garvaghy Road as second-class citizens.
I have proudly stood in support of the Garvaghy Road community, and I will continue to do so.
There can be no unwanted orange march down the Garvaghy Road.

It is ‘the undauntable thought’, my friend,
That thought that says ‘I’m right!’
