Summary

Parades Commission restricted the Belfast Walker Club parade scheduled for 7 November.
The commission barred the march from crossing Ormeau Bridge at Annadale Embankment.
It also prohibited entry onto Ormeau Road between the bridge junction and Havelock Bridge.
The ban was justified by potential disorder and previous attacks on nearby memorials, including the 1992 Sean Graham’s massacre site.
Sinn Féin MLA Deirdre Hargey said the banning decision was correct.
