What is happening in Drumcree is about so much more than a walk down the road
Nuala O’Loan of The Irish Catholic reports that tensions surrounding the Drumcree parade and the Garvaghy Road in Portadown could cause significant damage to Northern Ireland.
On September 27, 2026, police monitored people blocking the Garvaghy Road as members of the Protestant Orange Order prepared to march during the annual Drumcree parade. O’Loan notes that both sides are currently claiming the other will not win, creating a risk of violence.
