Fresh Application For Ardoyne March
A fresh application has been made by the Orange Order to stage another march in north Belfast.
According to the BBC, the organisation has applied to the Parades Commission to be allowed to walk past a sectarian flashpoint in Ardoyne.
The Ardoyne shops on the Crumlin Road in the city is an interface which separates unionist and nationalist communities.
The latest application is the Orange Order's third such attempt this month.
On 12 July, they were stopped from taking the route. Five nights of violence followed in areas across the city.
An application was lodged last week to walk the same route and it was rejected, but a protest was held on Saturday which passed without violence.
Thousands of people are thought to have accompanied the Order on the route before it was stopped by police on the Woodvale Road.
Yesterday (July 22), it was revealed the Orange Order had submitted a new application for Saturday 27 July.
The proposals would see the marchers leave from the loyalist Shankill area and walk along the Woodvale Road and Crumlin Road before arriving at Ligoniel Orange Hall.
The Parades Commission is due to consider the latest application later today.
