DUP Leader Calls On Protesters To Limit Damage To Traders
Peter Robinson has urged participants in the upcoming parade through Belfast's city centre on Saturday to try and limit the damage to traders.
The parade is being held to mark one year since a council decision to fly the union jack on designated days, and takes place on what is considered one of the city's busiest shopping days, November 30.
Saying that he did not want to see traders being effected, the DUP leader said: "It is a legitimate right of people to protest to show that one year on that they're still opposed to the flags decision of Belfast City Council, but I ask them to have their protest in a way that does the least possible damage to the traders of Belfast," Mr Robinson told the Sunday Politics show.
