Restrictions placed on Newtownbutler parade
The Parades Commission has placed restrictions on an Orange parade through Newtownbutler, County Fermanagh, on 15 August due to the fact that the Orange Order refused to engage in dialogue in order to resolve the parades dispute.
The Parades Commission's determination stated: ``Having taken further evidence, we acknowledge that the Loyal Orders did not participate in the proposed process and that their own public notice initiative fell short of the genuine engagement we advocated''.
The decision has been welcomed by the Newtownbutler Residents Association (NARA), who said that it was time the local Royal Black Perceptory and Orange Order questioned their leadership as the current leaders were not taking the organisations anywhere with their adamant refusal to engage in dialogue.
The spokesperson said: ``Because of their intransigence in speaking to us their parades are being curtailed''.
