Published:

Audio interview with Jeffrey Donaldson, DUP MP for Lagan Valley, and Alban Maginness, SDLP MLA for Belfast North, 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. Donaldson and Maginness discuss the impact of the Parades Commission’s decisions on community relations in Northern Ireland. The Nolan Show is a daily current affairs programme on BBC Radio Ulster.
