Belfast court blocks Orange Order parade in Portadown, urges calm

A Belfast high court judge has temporarily injuncted a decision allowing an Orange Order march down Garvaghy Road in Portadown, a nationalist area, citing risks of sectarian violence. The ruling follows a request for a countermarch and calls for calm from political figures. This is a recurring flashpoint in Northern Ireland's parading disputes, with the injunction temporarily defusing tensions but leaving underlying communal friction unresolved.
