An application for Wallace Park to host the multi-cultural event Lisburn Féile faced scrutiny from DUP members
Fears of 'Oh ah up the Ra' chanting in Lisburn have been voiced during a heated debate on plans for a féile in the city.
Concerns were raised that the July event could see the singing of the Wolf Tones' Celtic Symphony song, which sparked a backlash when it occurred at the Belfast Féile last August.Lisburn North DUP councillor Jonathan Craig said: "There has been similar language of 'multi-cultural' events used under the same title Féile in Belfast. We all know what language was also used.
"This is a garrison town, which suffered deeply over 30 years of the Troubles and saw our own councillors murdered by the terrorists that was referred to at that Féile." Lisburn North Alliance Alderman Stephen Martin said: "I would very much welcome this event, it is cross community and we should be supporting it. The comments from Cllr Craig were bordering on disgraceful."
