GARC also held protest against the parade on Friday evening which passed off without incident. Over 200 people took part. 'New beginning'
They accused him of taking sides with Sinn Féin and the Orange Order against a majority of residents.
In response, Fr Donegan said: "The reality is, if I have to take a bit of stick for standing up for what I believe is the right decision, then I have always taken it in the neck.
"This was never going to be a situation where everybody was going to be happy or content, but if it means that the people who were actually parading got by and it's over, and we have a new beginning, then it's well and good."
"Nobody has cowered me before and nobody will do it again," added Fr Donegan.
