Kneecap visit Garvaghy Road to show support for residents
The Irish-language rap group backed residents opposing an Orange Order march, as talks and a fresh legal appeal continued after police blocked the route.
- On Tuesday, the Drumcree stand-off in Portadown entered its third day as Northern Ireland Secretary Sir Chris Bryant continued mediating between the Orange Order and nationalist residents blocking Garvaghy Road.
- The dispute reignited on Friday when the Parades Commission reversed its long-standing determination, granting permission for a limited march along Garvaghy Road for the first time in almost 30 years.
- More than 1,000 people congregated on the road Sunday to block the parade; Stormont speaker Edwin Poots termed First Minister Michelle O'Neill's involvement "unprecedented."
- Secretary Bryant described Monday's meetings as "very positive," while O'Neill defended her presence at the protest as related to her role as Sinn Fein deputy leader amid political criticism.
- Former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern urged political parties to avoid returning to a "tribal past" for electoral gain, warning such actions could damage Northern Ireland's economic growth and institutions.
