1995 was the first summer of peace in Northern Ireland - except for
the small market town of Portadown. There, in defiance of the
wishes of the Catholic residents of the Garvaghy Road, the local
lodge of the Protestant Orange Order insisted on their traditional
march down the road on the way back from their annual church parade
at Drumcree. The subsequent stand-off went down in political
history as Drumcree One. Drumcrees Two to Six have followed the
same pattern, testing the peace process and even costing lives,
such as the three young Quinn brothers who perished when their home
was petrol-bombed at the height of the tension in 1998. Chris Ryder
and Vincent Kearney explore the background to the stand-offs, the
underlying motives of both Protestant and Catholic factions, and
the ongoing efforts of the peacemakers to resolve this bitter
dispute.
