LONDON -- Tensions ran high in Northern Ireland on Sunday after a contentious parade was blocked from making its way through the town of Portadown by thousands of protesters.
The march, which in the 1990s sparked some of the most serious disorder in Northern Ireland's history, will go ahead for the first time in nearly 30 years after a series of courtroom challenges.
A court ruled that a parade by a Protestant group could pass through a largely Catholic area for the first time in three decades. Protesters blocked the route.
