  • The Drumcree conflict is an ongoing dispute over parades in the town of Portadown, Northern Ireland. The dispute is between the Orange Order and local residents (represented by the Garvaghy Road Residents Coalition). The Orange Order (a Protestant and unionist organisation) insists that it should be allowed to march through the town's mainly Catholic and nationalist area on its traditional route to-and-from Drumcree Church. The main parade is held on the Sunday before The Twelfth of July. During the 1970s and 1980s there were numerous violent clashes as a result of the yearly parade. However, in 1995 the dispute drew the attention of the international media as it led to widespread protests and rioting throughout Northern Ireland. This pattern was repeated every July for the next four years. During this time the dispute led to the deaths of at least five civilians and prompted a massive police and army operation. Since 1998 the parade has been banned from most of the nationalist area, and the violence has subsided. However, regular moves to get the two sides into face-to-face talks have failed.
