Protesters block Garvaghy Road in Portadown, preventing an Orange Order parade from passing, but they disperse after being told there is a “process” to address the Drumcree dispute.
Both outlets describe a stand-off on Sunday, with thousands gathering on Garvaghy Road to stop the march route near Drumcree Church. The Irish Independent reports that protesters are dispersed after officials tell them how they should proceed to address the dispute, framing the move as guidance toward a procedure. The Irish Examiner similarly reports that the blockade persists for much of the day at its height, with the crowd’s goal remaining to prevent the parade from going through the area.
