The Belfast High Court upholds a Parades Commission decision allowing an Orange Order march on Garvaghy Road, with the court’s ruling delivered after an unusually late hearing. The hearing ends at 2:15am, and the parade is scheduled to begin a little over six hours later.
The outlets describe the process as “unprecedented,” highlighting the late-night timing of the court proceedings. The core decision in dispute is whether the march should be permitted, following the Parades Commission’s ruling. While the coverage emphasizes the unusual circumstances of how quickly the case is heard and resolved, the reports are consistent that the court’s outcome is to maintain the Commission’s permission for the march at Garvaghy Road.
Across the sources provided, there is limited additional detail beyond the court’s timing and decision. The Evening Standard and Irish Mirror both stress the hearing ending at 2:15am and the close scheduling of the parade after the judgment. The Belfast Telegraph and Evening Standard coverage aligns on the same upheld ruling after a late-night hearing, without presenting a conflicting conclusion.
