NI Secretary Bans Drumcree Parade; Orange Order Mounts Legal Challenge

This decision has prompted a legal challenge from the Orange Order, which accuses the minister of 'capitulation to mob rule', and strong condemnation from the DUP. The court's review of the ban's lawfulness is a critical near-term development.
