  10. As sure as night follows day:

    (a) The Orange Order runs to the courts; and

    (b) The OO snaps its fingers, and the courts spring into action; while everyone else is scheduled in for hearing during normal court sitting hours.

  11. Chris Bryant has made the right call here.

    I don’t love that our systems are such that we needed London to step in, but sensible policing and political decision.

    "Protests across Britain in solidarity with Garvaghy Road residents

    ROTESTS have taken place across Britain in support of the Garvaghy Road residents who are blocking a planned march through their area in Co. Armagh by the Orange Order.

    A demonstration has been underway along the road in Portadown for more than a week, after legal challenges failed to overturn a ruling from the Parades Commission allowing the march to go ahead for the first time in 28 years.

    More than 15,000 people made their way to Garvaghy Road to protest against the march over the weekend.

    They included Sinn Féin President Mary Lou McDonald and Northern Ireland’s First Minister Michelle O’Neill.

    Rap band Kneecap, musicians Christy Moore and Damien Dempsey and Folk band The Mary Wallopers have also all made appearances in the area in a show of support for the residents.

    On Sunday, October 4 supporters in London came out in solidarity with the Garvaghy Road residents at a rally to mark the 90th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street.

    The event was held to mark the battle, which took place on October 4, 1936, where demonstrators blocked Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists (BUF) from marching through the East End of London.

    Sinn Féin MLA Declan Kearney, who addressed the anniversary event, said there were historic parallels between those who stood against fascism on Cable Street in 1936 and those standing in solidarity with the Garvaghy Road residents today.

    'The East End stood courageously against British fascists’ attempts to racially divide workers,' he explained.

    Since last Saturday the people of Garvaghy Road, supported by community and political activists from across Ireland, have peacefully resisted the threat of an unwanted sectarian Orange Order march being forced through their area.

    'The historical parallels are unmistakable,' he added.

    Thousands have held the Garvaghy Road against those in unionism who want to turn back the clock. Democratic Ireland has been outraged. Now it is mobilised.

    The fascists did not pass in 1936, and the Orange Order will not pass on Garvaghy Road because those of us who choose progress have taken a stand against those trying to destroy political progress and the peace process.'

    Mr Kearney described the community resistance' at Garvaghy Road as a 'watershed moment'.

    'We are not going back,' he added.

    'The British Secretary of State has the powers to stop this march. The British Labour Government must act. There must be no Orange boots on Garvaghy Road.”

  13. The decline of Fintan O'Toole continues, by bothsidesing #Drumcree. 😡

    Yes, the language of #GarvaghyRoad residents & supporters is hyperbolic. But their fear is real.

    The core facts are simple: the #OrangeOrder is diminished, but still a hate group. It first terrorised Catholics near Drumcree in 1795. It did so again in the 1990s with 21 people dead. Local people rightly don't want them back.

    But #FintanOToole is cosy in Dublin while he sneers.

  14. RE: mastodon.ie/@2legged/117372019

    Unsure what the #Drumcree dispute is about? Hoping for a compromise?

    Read this wee screenshot. This is what it has the #OrangeOrder has ALWAYS been about.

    The Orange march down the #GarvaghyRoad was about hate & murder in 1795.

    The Orange march down the #GarvaghyRoad was still about hate & murder in the 1990s. 21 people died.

    That's why it was stopped. That's why it must never restart.

    No compromise with hate. #NoPasaaran

  15. This just in from ultra-unionist headbanger #CarlaLockhart (#DUP MP for the 17th century).

    If only there was some other road home from #Drumcree? #sarcasm

    Anyway, spare a thought for the poor #OrangeMen who haven't been home since 1998. They're dyin for a change of undies at the far end of the #GarvaghyRoad. #OrangeOrder now a bit brown.

  16. Today's column on the #IrishTimes by #JustineMcCarthy is an exceptionally good overview of the context of the #Drumcree dispute between the #OrangeOrder and the residents of the #GarvaghyRoad.

    McCarthy argues that only an all-Ireland republic can end this hate-fest.

  17. The Orange Order have applied for a parade in Portadown ONCE A WEEK for the last 28 years. [via Reddit] #mastodaoine #garvaghyroad paradescommissionni.flexigrant

  18. 2026-09-27 #PSNI #RUC issue a warning to "protestors", who gathered to prevent the supremacist, sectarian and fascist #OrangeOrder from marching down the indigenous Irish nationalist neighbourhood of #Garvaghy in #Drumcree #Portadown, in the occupied north of #Ireland.

    The Orange parade, due to occur on Sunday 27 (but successfully prevented from marching that day by ordinary people gathering in Garvaghy), was officially permitted by the state Parades Commission, but not by the residents, 28 years after the parade was effectively banned, after a series of loyalist (orange) killings of innocent Irish civilians.

    The standoff continues.

  19. In the 1990s, as the #Drumcree crisis peaked, #RosemaryNelson was solicitor for the Garvaghy Road Residents' Coalition #GRRC.

    In 1997, Nelson was assaulted & threatened by #RUC cops. In 1998, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Independence of Judges and Solicitors, Param Cumaraswamy, said that he believed Nelson's life could be in danger.

    On 15 March 1999, Nelson was killed by a loyalist bomb under her car.

    27 years later, courts want the #OrangeOrder back on the #GarvaghyRoad. 😡

  20. Gee, why do the Irish have an affinity for the Palestinians' plight, it must all be Antisemitism and not hard won experience of 800 years of Colonialism (which must never be mentioned in context!)

    A bad decision by the Parades Commission in Northern Ireland.

    The right of freedom of assembly does not mean an absolute right to parade anywhere and everywhere.

  23. In the 1990s, July brought chaos in #Portadown. The #OrangeOrder, an anti-Catholic hate group, paraded down the mostly-Catholic #GarvaghyRoad to #Druncree Church, with violent clashes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drumcree

    In 1998, the new #ParadesCommission (OC) banned the march from Garvaghy Rd. For 28 years, that kept the peace. Now the High Court has overturned the ban, and the PC has allowed a limited march. #RTE: archive.is/P2dOr

    Garvaghy residents are scared & furious.
