Whiterock Orangemen Call For Parade Determination Review

21 June 2005

Orangemen in north and west Belfast are to request a formal review of the Parades Commission's decision to route this Saturday's Whiterock Parade through the old Mackies factory site.

A meeting of Belfast's No 9 District last night agreed unanimously that the Commission's determination on the parade as it now stands was "totally unacceptable and bound to fuel inter-community tensions."

It's understood that a number of other groups in the area will also be lodging applications for a formal review of the Commission's decision.

A spokesman for the Belfast County Grand Orange Lodge said a number of meetings will be taking take place today involving Orangemen, political representatives and community leaders to discuss what steps should be taken to defuse what was described as a potentially highly volatile situation.
