Northern Irish court dismisses challenge against Protestant parade route

-

DUBLIN, Sept ‌27 (Reuters) - Northern Ireland's ​High Court dismissed a new ⁠application in the early hours of Sunday to stop ​a Protestant parade from passing ‌through a Catholic area after the Court of Appeal vacated ⁠a temporary injunction ⁠granted on Saturday to residents who opposed the parade.

The residents had challenged Friday's ‌ruling by Northern Ireland's Parades ⁠Commission that permitted ‌the Orange Order ​to march along the Garvaghy Road, a Catholic ‌enclave in the ​largely Protestant ⁠town of Portadown, during its ‌annual Drumcree ⁠parade.

The ruling by the Parades Commission overturned an almost ​30-year ban ‌on the route.
