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.
“If the judicial review says that [the procedures] weren’t followed correctly then we are back at the drawing board and then at that stage I think we need to re-examine all the decisions right from the start.”
The name ‘McCreesh Park’ had the support of the SDLP group on the old Newry Council.
