There must be a Belfast RIR parade
07 March 2011
Statement by TUV Leader Jim Allister:-
"In greatly welcoming the news of RIR welcome home parades, as fitting tributes to their gallantry and sacrifice in Afghanistan, I seek assurance that such a parade will be held in our capital city, Belfast.
Regional parades are welcome, but Belfast must not be excluded. Reports that some in authority wish to bow to republican pressure and avoid Belfast need to be refuted now by the announcement of a major Belfast parade."
