Video interview with Peter Robinson, First Minister of Northern Ireland, by Jim Fitzpatrick for BBC Northern Ireland Stormont Today in 2010. The Hillsborough Agreement of 5 February 2010 provided for the replacement of the Parades Commission with a new six member body to adjudicate on contentious parades. However, on 6 July the Orange Order voted to reject the decision to establish a new parading body as it was constituted according to the Hillsborough Agreement. In this interview Robinson discusses the difficulties in implementing the ruling on parading decided at the Hillsborough Agreement. Stormont Today is a nightly programme on BBC Northern Ireland which analyses developments within the Stormont Administration.
