— with the need for the residents to have their progress protected. I commend them for that. Everybody standing up for the right thing is always the right thing to do. We are not going back to the days when there are going to be marches put down roads where they are not wanted. Residents expect much more; I expect much more; and I think that our wider society expects much more, but the real question is why do those in the Orange Order want to walk through a small Catholic community and why do their champions on the Benches opposite think that that is a good idea? That smacks of triumphalism, folks. You cannot dress it up.
