Statement by TUV vice-chair Richard Cairns:
“While statements from Stormont’s terrorist inclusive executive may be seen as positive by some in the media the reality is that they do nothing to calm the situation on the ground.
“A joint statement with those who have done everything in their power to prevent not just the parade in North Belfast but parades across Northern Ireland and tore the Union Flag from City Hall will leave many wondering just how serious Unionists in the executive are about the concerns of Loyalists.
“TUV acknowledges the constructive work which has gone on within the Unionist family in recent days but these efforts will prove to be fruitless unless the public see evidence of the graduated response actually commencing.”
