This is awful. All for a march that could easily have ‘walked home’ not minutes away. Absolutely shocking to see riot policemen out with their battens in hand. I feel sick.
Huge questions for the PSNI leadership.
The same PSNI would not remove bonfire material from a loyalist site last year & would simply not countenance green lighting a reciprocal Republican parade in a loyalist area due to the risk of potential disorder.
@Toibin1 I think Druncree is the weapon being used to show Irish leaders and the Irish people that we cannot be reconciled and BP conditions are not met. Using reconciliation hands over a veto. This is it in play
@DarranMarshall I just read through the full declaration doc....this feels like a really smart move by the parades commission: the court will likely reject this tomorrow morning on appeal from the residents.
If the PC rejected it...after the recent court case we wouldn't hear the end of it.
