“For our part, TUV will remain true to our pledge to the Ligoneil lodges.”
Loyalists set up a permanent camp at Twaddell Avenue in July 2102 after a Parades Commission decision stopped an Orange Order parade taking place on a stretch of the adjoining Crumlin Road, which separates unionist and nationalist areas.
