A Donegal County Councillor has praised the residents of Garvaghy Road following weekend demonstrations. 

It comes as the Orange Order's Portadown District is calling for the PSNI's Chief Constable to resign - after they were unable to complete a contentious parade yesterday.

Members were given permission to march along the mainly nationalist Garvaghy Road for the first time in almost 30 years.

But a stand-off ensued after protestors blocked the road all day and late into the night.

Cllr Michael Cholm MacGiolla Easbuig was among those protesting yesterday and has been speaking to Ocean FM News:
