Police attacked with petrol bombs as New IRA parade through Derry

Police officers have come under attack with petrol bombs from youths as masked men led a New IRA parade through the streets of Derry.

Less than 200 had gathered in Derry as the parade took place in the city on Monday afternoon.

The parade left Creggan shops at 2pm before stopping at a New IRA monument in the Bogside, a change in the route of previous years.

There were also young people alongside the parade, some who had petrol bombs.

Large groups of young people were also seen heading in the direction of the Derry Walls, with some throwing petrol bombs at police and gathering beside homes belonging to pensioners.

Young people also lit fireworks.

Around 50 men and women in paramilitary-style uniforms led the dissident republican Easter Rising commemoration.

It is in direct contravention of a ruling by the Parades Commission that no paramilitary-style clothing was to be worn during the parade.

The Commission also said flags relating to a proscribed organisation were not to be displayed.
For the first time ever its organisers sought permission from the Parades Commission for the event which was granted.

Last year the Parades Commission received partial notification of a parade for the first time but indicated it was not submitted 28 days in advance which is the norm.
