Orange Order submits new 'limited' Drumcree parade plans
The Drumcree parade has been banned from going down the Garvaghy Road since 1998
The Orange Order has announced plans for a "limited" parade at Drumcree, one of the most contentious parade routes in Northern Ireland.
It said the plans had been scaled back and it hoped the parade would be allowed along the mainly nationalist Garvaghy Road. Instead of 400 people and two bands taking part, only 60 members would march along the road in Portadown in silence on Sunday 27 September.
The submission comes after a court case saw the Parades Commission's most recent determination on Drumcree overturned.
At a press conference, the Orange Order said members of the Parades Commission had "no credibility" to adjudicate on their application and should resign.
The commission had banned this year's parade from entering the Garvaghy Road - a move which reflected every decision it has made since 1998.
In 1998, the Parades Commission ruled that the Orange Order should not march down the road on the end leg of its annual march after a service at Drumcree Church.
It was a move that ultimately led to a decades-long parading dispute, sparking some of the most serious public disorder in Northern Ireland's history.
Stand-offs continued in subsequent years as members of the Order walked to police barricades in protest at the restrictions. Protests were also held by residents living along the Garvaghy Road.
The commission, which adjudicates on contentious parades in Northern Ireland, was heavily criticised by unionist politicians and the Orange Order after last month's court case.
