Audio interview with Alban Maginness, SDLP MLA for Belfast North, and Mike Nesbitt, leader of the UUP, by Stephen Nolan for BBC Radio Ulster the Nolan Show on 11 July 2013. On 9 July the Parades Commission ruled that an Orange Order parade could not pass through the Ardoyne area of Belfast on its return journey on 12 July, a decision which led to clashes between protesters and the PSNI in north and east Belfast for several days. Maginness and Nesbitt discuss the Parades Commission’s ruling. The interviewees also respond to questions from callers. The Nolan Show is a daily current affairs programme on BBC Radio Ulster.
