PSNI Chief Constable Statement.
Welcomes decision to revoke parade permission.
Says to force parade down would have had unacceptable consequences for policing, political stability and the peace process

[conor macauley @TVconormac]

Statement just released by SoS NI. Drumcree Parade permission revoked

[conor macauley @TVconormac]

Chief Constable told Chris Bryant the parade couldn’t pass without major police intervention that attracted unacceptable risk of disorder and serious injury.

The announcement by Secretary of State Chris Bryant regarding the Parades Commission’s determination in relation to Drumcree will come as a significant relief to the community on the Garvaghy Road.

[conor macauley @TVconormac]

Statement DUP Leader Gavin Robinson
Decision to ban parade leaves rule of law “fundamentally undermined”. DUP will not walk away from institutions. Republicans have shown disdain and disrespect for unionists.

[conor macauley @TVconormac]

The Parades Commission advised SoS NI that in light of the new police assessment its position was that the parade no longer had “enduring legal effect”.

[conor macauley @TVconormac]

Michelle O’Neill doesn’t say it but one interpretation is she’s been told the SoS has decided to revoke permission for Drumcree parade.

[Michelle O’Neill @moneillsf]

We have just received confirmation that there will be no unwanted Orange march down the Garvaghy Road.
