Description

A report for UTV Live on the stand-off at Drumcree near Portadown. Of all the contentious routes during the so-called Marching Season in Northern Ireland, the one through the Garvaghy Road is perhaps the most famous, due to protests and stand-offs in the mid-1990s. When the RUC prevented an Orange parade from returning from Drumcree church along the nationalist Garvaghy Road, it sparked an enormous protest as people flocked to join the face-off with the police over the course of three days.
