Original Summary
Reuters / Protesters have maintained a presence on the Garvaghy Road since Sunday - picture taken on 28 September A challenge to the decision to allow a controversial Orange Order parade to go down a predominantly nationalist road is due to be heard in court later. The deadlock over the proposed march in Portadown - opposed by residents of the Garvaghy Road - has lasted since last Sunday morning. The stalemate has reopened what was once the most bitter parading dispute in Northern Ireland, with stand-offs in the mid-to-late 90s accompanied by riots, roadblocks and killings. The fresh Court of Appeal application argues that the Parades Commission, the organisation that approved the march, had "materially misdirected itself" on the police assessment of the potential for disorder.

Monday's hearing is due to begin in Belfast at about 10:30 BST. On Friday 25 September, the Parades Commission decided that the march could go ahead with restrictions in place. The residents' appeal will be the latest legal challenge since it was given the go-ahead after three separate legal hearings over the course of 13 hours late on Saturday and into the early hours of Sunday morning.

Protesters have since remained on the road, although in much smaller numbers, and the Portadown District Orange Lodge has maintained a presence at Drumcree Church, about a mile away. On Tuesday, lawyers for the Garvaghy Road Residents' Coalition (GRRC) issued a fresh legal bid to try to prevent the march from going ahead.

PSNI Chief Constable Jon Boutcher also discussed the dispute at a public meeting of the Policing Board in Belfast on Thursday. The policing operation over the Drumcree parading dispute has cost about £3m so far.

中文标题: 上诉法院将审理居民就Drumcree争端游行提出的挑战
上诉法院将审理一项挑战:允许争议性的奥兰治会游行经过以民族主义者为主的Garvaghy路。自上周日以来对峙持续。上诉申请称游行委员会在警方对骚乱风险的评估上“重大误导自身”,未准确呈现PSNI证据。周一贝尔法斯特约10:30开庭。此前委员会于9月25日批准游行但设限制,居民方经多次法律听证后再次上诉。上周日游行因大规模抗议未成行,抗议者仍留守,奥兰治会也在Drumcree教堂附近保持存在;警方行动已耗约300万英镑。
