Suspect device destroyed near Parade Commissioner's home Last updated: 16:50

RUC experts have destroyed a suspect object found today near the home of a prominent member of Northern Ireland's independent parades commission.

Army disposal officers carried out a controlled explosion on the object which was found in Greyabbey, 15 miles (25 kilometres) east of Belfast, near the residence of Mr Billy Martin who sits on the body that rules on Northern Ireland's controversial parades.

The RUC said later that the bomb alert was a hoax.

The parades commission has come under fire from Orangemen for ruling that Orange Order parades be re-routed away from nationalist districts.
