An Orange Order parade and related protest held in Dungiven last month cost police a substantial amount of money.

Approximately 75 Orangemen took part in an early morning parade through the north Derry town on June 8, despite opposition from members of a Concerned Residents Group.

Brethren made their way from New Street to the Presbyterian Church and, following a service, returned along the same route, part of which was lined with over 100 protestors opposed to the parade.

There was a heavy police presence in the town on the morning in question and the event was recorded by officers.

And it can be revealed that the sum total of the parade has cost police a substantial financial figure.

To find out how much, see tomorrow's County Derry Post.
