The Orange Order has requested to complete a contentious parade route in Co Armagh on the day of the All Ireland football final. Sinn Fein meanwhile, has secured an urgent meeting with the Parade's Commission to oppose it. Portadown District LOL No1 intends to walk down Garvaghy Road from Drumcree Church at 3pm on Sunday. The same day as the All-Ireland GAA final against Armagh and Galway. The order says this will have the least impact on the community. The Garvaghy Road was the scene of major violence in the 1990s with Sinn Fein says it's a stunt and will increase tensions. DUP MP Carla Lockhart supports the application.
