The group which organised a loyalist rally in Dublin city centre last year, which ended in a full scale riot in O'Connell Street, is to meet senior gardaí tomorrow to discuss holding another parade later in the summer.

Willie Frazer from the victims' group FAIR, (Families Acting for Innocent Relatives), is to meet the Assistant Garda Commissioner for the Dublin Metropolitan Region at Government Buildings in the morning.

Mr Frazer said he was hoping to get permission from the gardaí for a parade and rally in the capital, possibly in July.

The last parade, which was the first of its kind in Dublin, took place in February 2006.

It had to be abandoned after a mob went on the rampage in O'Connell Street.
