Sir, - Perhaps there is a simple and easy solution to the Orangemen's desire to "strut their stuff" down Garvaghy Road on the Twelfth of July.
Let officialdom insist that the road be left open in the normal manner to all traffic. Let the Orange procession close ranks whilst passing through the area and keep to the left-hand lane as all traffic normally does, thereby causing no interference to other traffic.
The ideal solution would then be for the "Garvaghyites" to ignore them and let the rest of us wonder what all the fuss was about. - Yours, etc., Jack O'Donoghue,
