  • Thomas Moore, 55, of Farren Park in Derry, faces three charges linked to the commemoration on Easter Monday.

The article from AOL News discusses a significant Easter Monday march in Londonderry, Northern Ireland, which was linked to the dissident republican group, the New IRA. The march, which took place on April 10, 2023, saw around 3,000 people participating in a parade that included a color party and a paramilitary-style show of strength. The event was criticized by local political leaders, including Sinn Féin's Michelle O'Neill, who condemned the actions of the New IRA, especially in light of a recent attack on a police officer. The march occurred amidst heightened tensions following the attempted murder of Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell, which the New IRA claimed responsibility for. The article highlights the ongoing challenges in Northern Ireland related to peace and security, as well as the political reactions to such displays of paramilitary activity.
