Garvaghy Road residents lose a legal challenge over the Drumcree march
The Journal and the Irish Times reported on Monday that residents of the Garvaghy Road lost a legal challenge to a Parades Commission decision on the Drumcree march, and the Journal said the PSNI stands over its operation. The full rulings were not seen, so DailyDrop does not give reasons or the march date. The web address of the Irish Times report refers to an Orange Order challenge to a parade ban to be heard next week; that is unconfirmed. On Sunday the Journal reported the DUP leader calling a ban on a Drumcree parade disgraceful appeasement by the Northern Ireland Secretary.
Drumcree has been a flashpoint since the 1990s, and decisions on it affect community relations and policing.
For readers in the Border counties, it is a story about policing and community tension close to home.
Residents argued the Commission's decision was wrong.
Supporters of the parade say it is a traditional right.
Watch for the date of any march and for the separate Orange Order case.
