Audio interview with a caller to the Nolan Show, Winston Irvine (PUP director of communications) and Jim Potts (unionist resident in Belfast) by Stephen Nolan for BBC Radio Ulster The Nolan Show on 13 September 2013. On 9 July the Parades Commission ruled that an Orange Order parade could not pass through the Ardoyne area of Belfast on its return journey on 12 July, a decision which led to clashes between protesters and the PSNI in north and east Belfast for several days. Protesters against the decision subsequently set-up a camp at Twaddell Avenue, Belfast, to demand a reversal of the Parades Commission ruling. The interviewees discuss the economic impact of the protests. The Nolan Show is a daily current affairs programme on BBC Radio Ulster.
