DCC To Vote On 'Love Ulster' March

Dublin City Council is to vote on a controversial "Love Ulster" march planned for the city next month.

The march has been arranged by Northern Irish "Loyalist campaigner" Willie Frazer.

A previous march lead by Mr Frazer in 2006 ended in serious violence when Republican demonstrators clashed with garda.

Fianna Fáil, who brought the march to the council, has called on Mr Frazer to cancel the proposed event.
