Residents of Garvaghy Road in Portadown have expressed strong opposition to a planned parade by the Orange Order, claiming that past events have deeply affected their community. Breandán Mac Cionnaith, a spokesperson for the residents, stated that the Orange Order should apologize rather than proceed with the march, emphasizing that any discussions should prioritize the residents' concerns.
The Orange Order is preparing to apply for a Drumcree parade that may include Garvaghy Road, with details expected to be announced soon. The Parades Commission will review the application and determine any necessary restrictions.
