In December 2012 Newry and Mourne Council named a children's play park after Raymond McCreesh, a decision which prompted criticism within the unionist community. Following these objections the Equality Commission began an investigation into the Council’s decision. In advance of the Equality Commission’s ruling on the issue, McKinney states his objection to the naming of the park after McCreesh.
