Interview with Frances Nolan by William Crawley for BBC Radio Ulster The Nolan Show on 19 July 2013

Published:

Audio interview with Frances Nolan, a member of the Parades Commission, by William Crawley for BBC Radio Ulster the Nolan Show on 19 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. On 17 July the Orange Order applied through the Parades Commission to march through the Ardoyne area three days later, an application subsequently rejected. Frances Nolan discusses the decisions of the Parades Commission in relation to the events of that month. The Nolan Show is a daily current affairs programme on BBC Radio Ulster.
