John FinucaneGUEST
And that's certainly how this is being presented.
John FinucaneGUEST
You can't celebrate this as a victory for unionism in one day and then tell residents the next day that there's nothing symbolic about putting an orange parade back onto the road after 28 years.
John FinucaneGUEST
But let me just talk about the date, William, because you introduced that.
John FinucaneGUEST
And I don't think anybody should be naive and people's intelligence shouldn't be insulted by pretending that there is no symbolism in any of this.

John FinucaneGUEST
But strip all of that away.
John FinucaneGUEST
And the question is very simple.
John FinucaneGUEST
Why does an Orange Parade need to go down the Garfahy Road? Nobody is stopping anyone practising their religion.
John FinucaneGUEST
Nobody is stopping anyone celebrating their culture.
Gerry AdamsHOST
It did so because of a procedural flaw in how the decision was reached.
Gerry AdamsHOST
The High Court decision did not clear the way for an Orange March down Garbahie Road, but it did lead to an increase in the sectarian bombast that has long been part and parcel of political unionism in the Northern state.
Gerry AdamsHOST
The UUP, DUP and TUV have all united to claim a massive victory for unionism and loyalism, and to demand that the Orange Order be able to march through the Nationalist Garbage Road area.
Gerry AdamsHOST
They want to turn the clock back to no surrender, not an inch to the ethos of the old Orange state.
Gerry AdamsHOST
The nationalist community of the Garbahie Road is gooder now than it was in 1997.
Gerry AdamsHOST
It has lived in peace for almost 30 years.
Gerry AdamsHOST
It deserves to be able to continue to do so, and there's no desire within that community to facilitate a sectarian Orange March.
Gerry AdamsHOST
An old... compatriot of mine of relation, Paddy Elliott, died last week.
John FinucaneSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
People shouldn't confuse a review of procedures with reopening the issue of an unwanted march on the Garvahy Road.
John FinucaneSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
That issue's been settled for almost three decades and there hasn't been an orange march down that road for 28 years.
John FinucaneSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
People have been able to live peacefully and there's absolutely no reason to turn that clock backwards.
John FinucaneSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So our position remains clear.

It is a sense of entitlement that the Unionist side of the fence, or Protestants, and I am a Protestant.
speaker_19AUDIENCE
It's a sense of entitlement.
speaker_19AUDIENCE
I mean, I'm over 80 years of age, and I can recall Orange March has been forced down roads by the REC.
speaker_19AUDIENCE
If they want to march, it has to be dignified.
John O'DowdGUEST
But it does not change the ultimate decision.
John O'DowdGUEST
And the decision was, as was in the previous 27 years, that the Orange Order Parade should be rerouted away from the Gavahi Road.
Vicki HawthorneHOST
OK, Philip Brett, does today's development and what the Secretary of State said with his judge-led review, does that go far enough or is it, as John O'Dowd suggests, that unionists are never going to be content with the Parades Commission?
Philip BrettGUEST
I just need to pick up on what John said.

John O'DowdGUEST
The Deputy First Minister wouldn't accept the Republican march through Market Hill, or they wouldn't accept the Republican march through other Loyalist and Unionist areas.
John O'DowdGUEST
And that's the reality, and that's the reality I accept, because society has changed, but not to that degree.
John O'DowdGUEST
But there is absolutely no requirement for an Orange Order parade down the Gavahi Road.
John O'DowdGUEST
The Orange Men marched to the church service, uninterrupted, undisturbed, Through a mainly nationalist area as well, it has to be said.
Katy KorenGUEST
Calvin Grove.
Karen KorenGUEST
Yeah, and I remember waking up one morning and hearing the Orange Walk walking past.
Karen KorenGUEST
I was not changed then.
Karen KorenGUEST
I love Glasgow people because they're very funny.
Allison SpittleGUEST
He did, for playing the flute.
Red RichardsonHOST
Orange March, yeah?
Allison SpittleGUEST
The Orange March, yeah.
Red RichardsonHOST
Why is that bad? What did we do then?
Allison SpittleGUEST
Um, so that-
Babs GrayHOST
real blasting.
Mary HoulihanGUEST
They said, like, my aunt and uncle, they were telling us that, like, one day, like, the Orange Parade was going by their house, which is just a bunch of, like, maniac Protestants trying to scare you.
Mary HoulihanGUEST
And kind of like a white power march, in a way.
Mary HoulihanGUEST
And that my great-grandma was like, okay, kids, get under the windows, pull down the blinds, and...
Mary HoulihanGUEST
important.
Babs GrayHOST
Yeah.
Babs GrayHOST
Yeah, I remember, yeah, hearing about the orange parades and stuff, too.
Babs GrayHOST
It's a lot.
