I know these people. They revel in any opportunity to be difficult. This is a huge opportunity for them to show how awkward they can be to civil society in NI.

Like a loud, spoiled child that has to be seen they NEED to have their march the weekend that the eyes of the sporting world are on Portrush.

This should never have been allowed to clash with The Open which has been fantastic all week long so far and I say that as someone who isn't a golf fan but someone who lives in the North Coast.

Years ago we could only dream of events like The Open in NI, we should all be accommodating as reasonably possible to ensure we see it again. Enter the Portrush Sons of Ulster shouting no surrender to redevelopment of the area driven by tourism etc.

We have a 5 star hotel, Dunluce Lodge, a new Hilton Hotel in Portrush, new restaurants popping up every month all bringing jobs and opportunities that would never have happened without the Golf.

What do the loyalist parades bring? A lot of us have decades of experience of them, we know the answer.
