Orange Order planning blockade of main Belfast roads

The Orange Order is planning to block a number of main roads in Belfast on Monday night in protest at restrictions on a contentious march in the north of the city.

The Parades Commission has ruled that only members of the Orange Order can participate in the parade past the Ardoyne shops flashpoint following the main Twelfth of July celebrations.

Hangers-on and other participants have been told they must return to their homes via a different route.
