What happened

Well supportedReported by 6 independent outlets

The High Court in Belfast reviewed the Parades Commission's decisions concerning public order in Northern Ireland. The Commission had previously granted permission for 35 Orange Order members to march along the mainly nationalist Garvaghy Road in Co Armagh. This was the first time the Protestant organization had walked the route since 1997. The High Court determination regarding this parade was subsequently challenged through a legal process, where the parading body conceded a procedural error in how it handled the annual application.
