Audio interview with Conall McDevitt, SDLP MLA for Belfast South, by Stephen Nolan for BBC Radio Ulster the Nolan Show on 15 July 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. McDevitt discusses the escalation of violence in Belfast with particular emphasis on the issue of community leadership. The Nolan Show is a daily current affairs programme on BBC Radio Ulster.
