Update: Thousands have gathered here on the Garvaghy Road in Portadown to show support to residents who blocked an Orange Order parade almost a week ago. First Minister Michelle O'Neill was amongst those who gave speeches today @BelTel

Who actually leads Unionism today? It has to decide who speaks for it. The elected or the unelectable.

Garvaghy Road residents arrive at court this morning to a massive welcome from the crowd. Sinn Féin stands fully with the Garvaghy Road community. We stand resolute in defence of their right to live free from sectarianism and intimidation.

“This will damage Palestinian livelihoods” seems to be the agreed chorus line for people who haven’t given a damn about Palestinian lives

Mr. Prime Minister, I would suggest that you read the Good Friday Agreement. This is a question for the people, and for the people only. Both sides agreed to the terms of the peace accord, including the principle that the right to self-determination should not be left to one person. That agreement has been honored and has helped maintain peace on the island of Ireland for 28 years. As a guarantor of the Good Friday Agreement, the United States has a critical role to play in ensuring that the people of Ireland have the right to control their own destiny.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Rep clearly hasn’t read the GFA as it clearly states that the UK Secretary of State could call a referendum if they felt there was sufficient support. The UK PM was within his rights to reject calls for a referendum when support in NI for a united Ireland is <40% cain.ulster.ac.uk/issues/unifica…

Final Fleadh footfall numbers from Belfast One BID cameras: 1.65 million captured on its cameras over the 8 days. Saturday busiest - 289,560, just ahead of Friday (272,289). A huge success. Can easily see it surpass 2 million next year given the countless positive experiences.
Sin é, Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2026.. History made. A beautiful week. Countdown to 2027 begins.

You go to the media & gurn about the abuse you get online, then go stand with this rabble who abuse peaceful marchers. Do you ever wonder what the people you’re standing with would say to and about you if you weren’t on their side?
