Sinn Fein and SDLP angered by Hain’s appeal on Commission appointments

Both the SDLP and Sinn Féin have reacted angrily to news that the Northern Secretary, Peter Hain, is to appeal a judgement that he unlawfully put two Orangemen on the Parades Commission.

Mr. Hain said he was extremely disappointed in the judgement and believed the appointments had been impartial, subjective and had followed all the rules.
