Police to act on drinking

The PSNI has pledged to take action on public drinking at 12th of July parades. This will include confiscation of alcohol. This follows an appeal by the Loyal Orders and band organisations for people not to drink and respect bye-laws.Personally think the police should go further and use their discretionary powers and close the off licences along the route as they do at the ABOD parade in Londonderry and the last time the 12th parade was in Glengormley.
