SDLP poised to '˜re-examine all decisions' on IRA park name
It follows a major victory in the battle to have Raymond McCreesh’s name stripped off the publicly-owned children’s play facility.
Councillor Colin McGrath said: “I think the SDLP perspective is quite clear; we don’t believe in naming play parks and other public spaces after anybody that was involved in the Troubles.

The name ‘McCreesh Park’ had the support of the SDLP group on the old Newry Council.
However, last night Mr McGrath said: “We as a party, like everybody else in Northern Ireland, are looking to move forward and look to the future.”
