PSNI collude with Orangemen
From An Phoblacht: (You need to register but, it's free).

The standoff that developed in the County Antrim village of Dunloy on Tuesday 12 July was brought about after PSNI-backed Orangemen exploited a loophole in a Parades Commission determination.

After Orangemen gathered at their Hall on Station Road, just outside the village, on the Twelfth morning the loyalist band accompanying them struck up a series of Orange tunes.

According to Sinn Féin's Philip McGuigan the loyalist band was in breach of the Parades Commission determination, barring them from playing music.

However the loyalists justified their actions saying they were not marching when they played the tunes but were in a standing position at the time.
