@ScepticalScot1 @irelandpolitics @Lassielmr I don’t begrudge them their annual events; which I think should be held in parks or arenas so they don’t inconvenience everyone. The road marching is simply sectarian to assert their dominance over catholics. Meanwhile in NI, they are throwing a pity party over not being able to walk down the Garvaghy Rd for 20+ years. They can return unhindered the route they came, but that’s not a Catholic area…. #Drumcree
