Sinn Feín councillor Tierna Cunningham said she is livid after the Royal Black Preceptory received the go ahead for a fourth parade on the Whitewell Road
“I just can't believe they are doing it again, I am absolutely livid,” said the North Belfast republican.
“At the beginning of the month a lot on money was spent bussing children out of the area to keep tensions low while this first parade was going on.
“Now they say they have to do it again because they didn't do it the first time. Where is the logic in this?”
This is the fourth time the he Royal Black Preceptory are to march on the Whitewell Road this month to perform a ceremony they should have carried out at an earlier march.
The Preceptory want to carry out a 'Moving District Colours' ceremony at Greencastle Orange Hall despite being granted permission to carry it out at their march on 1 August.
The marchers decided not to carry out the ceremony at that time and have now been granted permission to hold a further three parades on the road next Saturday (30 August).
“I'm appealing for local people to be calm in the face of this crazy decision,” said Tierna Cunningham.
