Springfield still in dispute…

This You Tube video shows the extent of the territory in dispute for the weekend march. It begins where the Orange want to come out, and ends where Nationalists want the parade to come out. Nationalists are to mount a challenge to the Parades Commission ruling. But it is also worth highlighting something extraordinary about this situation. This video shows the Catholic housing facing the gates the Orangmen want to march out of, constructed with just one tiny window facing onto what has been a highly dangerous road in the past.
