Tomorrow's controversial Whiterock Orange parade in Belfast is expected to pass off peacefully, after an accommodation was reached between the Orange Order and nationalist protesters.
The Parades Commission, which rules on contested parades, has determined that the bulk of marchers cannot use a disputed section of the Springfield Road in west Belfast.
A token number of Orangemen will use the controversial section of the road which passes nationalist homes. A small counter-protest will also be staged.
However, it is understood that residents are applying for a judicial review of the decision to limit the scale of the protest. Some nationalists had wanted a larger protest taking up positions on both sides of the road as the small Orange parade passed.
The Orange Order released a statement last night reluctantly accepting the Parades Commission ruling.
It is thought the arrangements mirror those agreed locally, following outside mediation, for the Tour of the North parade on June 15th which passes Ardoyne in Belfast.
One source last night suggested the scene for tomorrow's march "looked pretty good" and the atmosphere locally was at its most "positive" in recent times.
The Parades Commission has also again ordered that Orangemen attending the annual Somme commemoration service at Drumcree parish church cannot return to their lodge in Portadown via the Garvaghy Road.
The Orange Order last night said: "We are disappointed at the decision on this year's parade but not in the least surprised. It does not diminish our determination to solving the issue and we are still committed to face mediation with the Garvaghy Roads Residents' Coalition, under an independent chairman, without any preconditions and with all options open."
Residents' spokesman Breandán Mac Cionnaith welcomed the determination.
