Court allows Protestant march through Catholic area in Northern Ireland

Original: Northern Ireland court allows Protestant march in Catholic area, Sky News reports

A court in Northern Ireland has ruled that a Protestant parade can proceed through a predominantly Catholic area, according to Sky News. Such marches have long been a source of tension in the region, with parades through contested neighbourhoods often prompting objections from residents and prompting a heavy police presence. The decision is likely to draw reaction from both unionist and nationalist communities.

Why now: Contested parades are a recurring flashpoint in Northern Ireland, and any court ruling on them draws wide attention.
