Interview with Jeffrey Donaldson by Stephen Nolan for BBC Radio Ulster The Nolan Show on 1 August 2013

Published:

Audio interview with Jeffrey Donaldson, DUP MP for Lagan Valley, by Stephen Nolan for BBC Radio Ulster the Nolan Show on 1 August 2013. In July the DUP called on the Parades Commission to prevent a Sinn Fein march taking place in Castlederg, Co. Tyrone in commemoration of two members of the IRA who were killed in 1973 when the bombs they were transporting exploded. The dispute arose only weeks after the Parades Commission had 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. Donaldson discusses the contentious parade and the political divisions between the DUP and Sinn Fein in the power-sharing Executive. The Nolan Show is a daily current affairs programme on BBC Radio Ulster.
