Donald Trump sparked controversy around the unification of Ireland by commenting that it would be pretty cool, which caused tensions between protesting residents and members of the Protestant Orange Order on Garvaghy Road in Portadown, reminding of the difficult sectarian relations in Northern Ireland.

Prosecutions have been threatened over Garvaghy Rd solidarity protests. We are not afraid of prosecutions. We are afraid of our communities being dragged back to sectarian violence and death. #Drumcree https://t.co/xRECoEMZKv #GarvaghyRd #Solidarity #Peace #GB #IE
There can be no Orange march forced through the Garvaghy Road community. Today, Michelle O’Neill and I met with the Taoiseach and Tánaiste. We made clear that they must urgently press the British Prime Minister to stop this march. The people of Garvaghy Road are not https://t.co/IdaWKaOiII #GarvaghyRoad #OrangeMarch #PeacefulProtest #IE #GB
It's thanks to people power, by ordinary people standing together with the community, that the Orange Order has been stopped until now. We will continue to stand with the residents on Garvaghy Road. There will be no return to sectarian Orange marches. #PeoplePower #CommunitySolidarity #NoSectarianism #GB #IE
There must be no sectarian march through the Garvaghy Road. 28 years of peace must be protected. The Irish Government must tell the British Secretary of State & the British Government to intervene to stop this march. https://t.co/iLX0FNA7qK #NoSectarianMarch #PeaceInIreland #GarvaghyRoad #IE #GB
For a second week, the government voted down our proposal for a full Dáil debate on the threat of a sectarian Orange march down Garvaghy Rd and the Government's responsibility under the Good Friday Agreement to ensure communities in the North are free from sectarian harassment. #Sectarianism #GoodFridayAgreement #GarvaghyRoad #GB #IE
Die Rückkehr des langzeitverbotenen Drumcree-Marsches des protestantischen Oranier-Ordens hat in Nordirland zu heftigen politischen Spannungen geführt, da Hunderte von Gegendemonstranten den Umzug durch die katholisch geprägte Garvaghy Road blockierten und die Situation die fragile Balance der nordirischen Regierung belastet. #DrumcreeKonflikt #Nordirland #OrangeOrder
Garvaghy residents stand resolute in face of Orange Order bigotry https://t.co/FKNUTd2nZR via @YouTube #Garvaghy #OrangeOrder #Bigotry #GB
So sad to see what the residents of the Garvaghy Rd are being subjected to. There's no just law that can justify the facilitation of sectarian bigotry. Any such law should be resisted. Well done to all those standing in solidarity. There can no return to what was a very dark #GarvaghyRd #Solidarity #EndBigotry #Therearenospecificcountrymentionsinthetweetprovided.
The purpose of the Orange march down Garvaghy is to polarise the 2 communities into extreames for the next election. Unionism is in crisis. Jeffrey Donaldson is facing 10 years. DUP polls are on the floor. They dont want elections on hospital, housing or cost of living crises. https://t.co/kM75hf7yVv #OrangeMarch #UnionismCrisis #DUP #GB

Residents still on Garvaghy Road. It's hard to see police being able to force the Orange Order through because of the scale of opposition. This is the frontline of the struggle on this island against sectarianism and division. https://t.co/hXLAadEBbA #GarvaghyRoad #Sectarianism #OrangeOrder #GB #IE

De Britse minister voor Noord-Ierland, Chris Bryant, staat onder druk om de mars alsnog te verbieden, maar zegt dat alleen te kunnen doen op verzoek van de plaatselijke politie. #NoordIerland #Oranjemars #GarvaghyRoad
