Northern Ireland High Court permits Orange Order march through Catholic area of Portadown for first time in 28 years
Northern Ireland's High Court allowed the Orange Order, a Protestant organization, to march through the mainly Catholic Garvaghy Road area in Portadown. The court rejected a final attempt by residents to block the parade, after the Court of Appeal overturned a temporary injunction. The Parades Commission approved the march with a 35-person limit, no bands, and a 9:30am finish time.
