DISTRICT LOL No1 CHURCH PARADE ON SUNDAY 4 JULY, 1999
The following is the decision of the Parades Commission in relation
to the parade notified by Portadown District LOL No 1 for Sunday 4 July,
1999. Section 8(1) of the Public Processions (Northern Ireland) Act 1998,
provides that : "The Commission may issue a determination in respect of
a proposed public procession imposing on the persons organising or taking
part in it such conditions as the Commission considers necessary." The
Commission has noted the details provided on Form 11/1 submitted on 3 June
1999.
The Commission has considered the need to issue a determination as outlined
above, against the factors described in its Guidelines document.
