Audio interview with Mervyn Gibson, spokesperson for the Orange Order, and Gerry Kelly, Sinn Fein MLA for Belfast North, by Stephen Nolan for BBC Radio Ulster The Nolan Show on 12 June 2013. In September 2012 rioting began in North Belfast after disagreement between members of nationalist and unionist communities on the parades issue. Missiles thrown at the PSNI during the riots left 47 police officers injured. Gibson and Kelly discuss attempts to prevent a recurrence of this violence ahead of the coming marching season.
