Garvaghy Road

Police are investigating an incident at a bonfire in Co Tyrone at the weekend as a ‘hate crime’.

THE quote "the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results" is often attributed to Albert Einstein.

Members of the Orange Order held a short protest over the banning of a march past a mainly Catholic area of Portadown.

The Orange Order has been banned from marching along the mainly Catholic Garvaghy Road this weekend.

AN engineering firm where two victims of Monday's road crash in Co Tyrone worked last night said it was "heartbroken" by the deaths of their colleagues.

BY the time Drumcree became headline news in 1995, there was already a long history of tensions over loyal order parades in nationalist areas of Portadown.

A prominent Orangeman has insisted a sectarian arson attack that killed three Catholic children was not linked to the Drumcree dispute.

ULSTER Unionist leader David Trimble recognised the need for compromise over the Drumcree parading dispute but "had shown little instinct to compromise himself".

THE 1996 Drumcree march and subsequent violence helped IRA recruitment, increased support for Sinn Féin and left nationalists feeling betrayed by the RUC.

The PSNI has said nothing was found during searches in the Garvaghy Road area of Portadown yesterday after a claim that a device had been left in the area.
