Thu 11 Nov 2008Parades body visits Easter Rising sites
WHILE ALL roads to the North are clogged with Southerners on shopping sprees, Northern Ireland's Parades Commission has been touring historical sites in Dublin. Six members of the commission have been on a three-day visit ending today to sites associated with the Easter Rising in 1916.
Dr Michael Boyle, director of programmes and policy at the commission, said the visit was part of a learning programme aimed at "better understanding cultural and historical aspects of parading and protest in Northern Ireland".
