Belfast court injuncts decision to allow Orange Order march down Garvaghy Road

A controversial loyalist parade down a nationalist street in Portadown has been temporarily injuncted after a high court judge urged all sides to “step back from the abyss” and take responsible decisions for “the sake of everyone in Northern Ireland”.
