Ormeau residents fear go-ahead for parade

There are fears among the nationalist community in the North that the disputed Drumcree March in Portadown will get the go-ahead.

The fears follow the Parades Commission's ruling to allow an Apprentice Boys parade down the Ormeau Road on Easter Monday.

A spokesman for the Lower Ormeau Concerned Community said a signal is being sent out to loyalists that dialogue with nationalists does not have to be genuine, just go through the motions.
