Tiarna,

I am not sure why this approach has never been considered or indeed, if it has been it has never made its way into the public domain.
Though it seems a more viable action rather than the annual wait and cry victim(s) arguments that arise from all sides on the legality of certain contentious marches.
They have continually failed in the past and in the case of the Ardoyne interface the law sides with the marchers which in turn sets the stage for the besieged the heavy riot squad presence and the victorious marchers the perfect time tested recipe for mayhem with the approval of the law.

I agree with you a legal challenge against the source would certainly expose this “divine approved sectarian Law” that has no place in the modern world.

Tain Bo

A post of mine has been lost along the way but I commented along the lines that you have and asked of the various anti parade groups/committees if they ever contemplated challenging the legality of sectarian marching associations founding principles and values of supremacy which is all cloaked behind religious temperance drivel. Expose the lawfulness of their core values in modern Europe which would make any 'right to coat trail' redundant.

It is laughable that the antiquated laws of kingdoms and castles are to this day enforcing sectarian practice.
The sectarian tourist family or the royal family is what these bigots feed off as this gives them the legal right to march and defend their loyalty to a sectarian monarchy. There is no argument the law is sectarian no Catholics need apply.

If the sectarian law was repealed, that would change the paradigm and without a doubt, the loyal order would definitely not display loyalty and curse the monarchy for accepting Catholics who marry into the family.

The apprentice boys bused in to assist the local bigots in besieging the residents only adds insult to the usual volatile dispute. I do not object to their right to free assembly but do question the true reasons behind this blatant sectarian need to parade past an area that has suffered greatly.
What is more important the right for a community to go about its daily life or the right of fanatics acting out a victory that disrupts and threatens the people of the area.
The law is retarded I am sure that King Billy never marched past the Ardoyne interface. The fanatics marching 14 years on from the GFA are not promoting peace instead are engaging in blatant superiority that generally leads to its predictable unstable conclusion.

"They regularly march to assert this supposed supremacy over their neighbours within areas where they are welcome and we agree that they have a right to do so"

Surely they don't have the right to assert supremacy, real or supposed, anywhere?
