Text
Minister, I was interested in the question asked by your colleague Linda Dillon, who has, sadly, departed the Chamber. She seemed to imply that the cost of policing the Garvaghy Road was the fault of Orangemen. They asked only for a 15-minute parade with 35 Orangemen. That is another example of Sinn Féin's inversion of reality. Therefore, I will ask you the same question as I asked the First Minister, and maybe you can answer it. Since the Court of Appeal has reserved judgement on the issue, will you call on those who are taking part in an unlawful protest on the Garvaghy Road to go home and save the Police Service of Northern Ireland some money?
