LaporanCourt Clears Drumcree March on Garvaghy Road After Overnight RulingDitulis 27 September 2026 pukul 06.31 UTCTontonTranskrip0:11A second court has cleared the Orange Order to march down Portadown's contested0:15Garvey Road.0:16The ruling came only hours before a tightly restricted procession was due through a0:20mainly nationalist neighborhood where hundreds had gathered.0:23The legal question is settled for now, but did the march actually take place and0:28what happened on the road?0:29The further High Court hearing ended at about 2.15 a.m.0:32on Sunday, September 27th.0:34It upheld the Parades Commission's permission for Portadown District Orange Lodge to0:38make the return march.0:39Earlier accounts stopped after an appeal overturned a temporary ban but left another0:43hearing pending.0:44That account has been overtaken.0:46Overturning the ban and upholding the underlying permission were two separate0:49decisions.0:50Residents challenged the permission by judicial review.0:53On Saturday, Mrs.0:54Justice Patricia Smuth temporarily stopped the march and warned that the dispute0:58could escalate.0:59While that ban stood, the residence group undertook to call off a counter-protest.1:03Portadown Orange Order representatives challenged the injunction.1:06At about 11.30 p.m., the Court of Appeal set it aside.1:09Lady Chief Justice Dame Siobhan Keegan said the first judge had erred in law.1:14The appeal court then allowed a hearing before a different High Court judge, which1:17upheld the Commission's decision.1:19The precise error found on appeal is not established in the available account, nor1:23are the second judge's identity, that judge's detailed reasons or who requested the1:27further hearing.1:29Residence lawyers had questioned whether the police assessment behind the change in1:32permission had itself changed.1:34The complete assessment and the commission's detailed reasoning have not been1:37established.1:38Just 35 people in all were permitted to take part, including five named marshals.1:43Those five were not additional places.1:45Initial accounts said bands and supporters were barred.1:48The authorized return was from Drumcree Church, along Drumcree Road and Garveige1:52Road, to an Orange Hall in Portadown.1:55It had to leave the church by 8 a.m.1:57British Summer Time and disperse at the Hall by 9.30.1:59Accounts differ over whether the Hall's street is spelled Carlton or Carleton.2:04Permission to return down Garvey Road is not the same as permission to march to2:07Drumcree Church.2:09The return route runs through a mainly nationalist area, and disputes over it led to2:13serious violence in the 1990s.2:15This permission has been described as the first for the route in almost 30 years.2:19An early account said since 1998, but 1998 is also described as the year of a2:24disputed return march the order repeatedly sought to complete.2:27It is not established here as the last year a procession actually passed down Garvey2:32Road.2:32First Minister Michelle O'Neill called the permission reckless and said residents2:36should be able to live without sectarian harassment.2:39The Democratic Unionist Party welcomed it as a breakthrough.2:42Ahead of the planned march, hundreds gathered around Garveigh Road, and protesters2:46were reported to have begun blocking it.2:48There is no verified final crowd count or established account here of what followed2:51Sunday's ruling.2:52The Police Service of Northern Ireland activated mutual aid arrangements for2:56reinforcements from Scotland.2:58An early account put the planned support at 100 additional officers.3:02A later one said about 200 were understood to be coming.3:05Those are time-stamped estimates of planned support, not confirmed arrivals or3:09deployments.3:10The total policing deployment is also unconfirmed.3:12The overnight ruling answered whether the restricted march was legally permitted.3:16It was.3:17It did not establish that anyone set off, how many marched, whether the procession3:22completed Garvey Road, or whether there were confrontations or arrests.3:26The last verified development is the court's permission at about 2:15 a.m., with the3:30scheduled departure less than six hours away.Baca artikelKronologi ceritaHeyDexVideo singkat ↗Siapa melaporkan apaPoin yang dilaporkan lebih dari
