A court in Belfast has issued an injunction against a decision that would have allowed the Orange Order to march along the Garvaghy Road in Portadown, a route long at the centre of disputes between the loyal order and nationalist residents. The ruling halts the march for now, and the decision is being closely watched given the route's history of tense parading standoffs in Northern Ireland.

A court in Northern Ireland has issued a temporary order stopping a planned Orange Order march through a Catholic area. The Orange Order, a Protestant fraternal organisation known for its parades, regularly features in disputes over routing in the region.
