Controversy over republican parade planned for Belfast city centre
Aug 05, 2015, 09:20 AM
The DUP have requested a meeting with the Chief Constable about republican parades, including a contentious parade due to take place on Sunday.
The Anti Internment parade starts in Ardoyne, goes into the city centre and then up the Falls. There was serious trouble at it two years ago when 56 police officers were injured.
A statement on the parade organiser's Facebook page says they will break a Parades Commission determination this year. It says the parade should be clear of Belfast city centre by 1.30 pm. But the organisers say the parade will start at their intended time of 2.30 pm.
Three loyalist counter protests have also been organised.
