## Resource

Northern Ireland’s First Minister Michelle ONeill declares the Garvaghy Road Orange Order march application “closed,” calling it a direct provocation meant to reignite fear and division after 28 years of peace. The Parades Commission, which has blocked such marches annually since 1998, faces mounting pressure after a High Court ruling overturned one of its decisions — prompting unionist demands for commissioner resignations and a judge-led review ordered by the Northern Ireland Secretary. O’Neill warns this move is politically motivated, likening it to “picking a scab with a chainsaw,” while tensions rise as MLAs debate whether to mediate or dismantle the commission — all amid fears the situation could spark renewed violence reminiscent of the 1990s.
