1916 parade may 'hinder peace process'

THE State's forthcoming 1916 commemoration could hinder efforts to secure power-sharing in the North, two leading think tanks have warned.

The Dublin-based Action on Social Change (Tasc) and Belfast organisation Democratic Dialogue say the events of 1916 should be allowed fade into history rather than be glorified.

Adopting the latter course could create an obstacle to further progress in the peace process, the groups say.
