Orange Order slams re-routing of west Belfast parade
22/06/2005 - 08:14:11The Orange Order has slammed the Parades Commission's decision to re-route a contentious loyalist parade in west Belfast this Saturday.
The Whiterock parade normally passes through a security gate in the main Falls/Shankill "peaceline", but the commission has ruled that it should use a gate on Workman Avenue this year instead.
The ruling obliges marchers to use new roads built on the site of a disused factory, something the Orange Order has described as totally unacceptable.
Last year, the Parades Commission made a similar ruling, but reversed the decision the day before the march was due to take place.
