But they hit the headlines in recent weeks when one did a runner after getting compassionate release for his father's funeral and the other did a mocking TikTok to Northern Ireland’s Justice Chief Naomi Long from his prison cell.

The standoff between the Orangemen on Drumcree and the residents of the Garvaghy Road continues in Portadown.

Negotiations involving the Secretary of State Chris Bryant, the Orange Order, and Garvaghy Road residents have so far failed to reach an agreement.

Garvaghy Road residents' spokesman Breandán Mac Cionnaith confirmed on Wednesday that there was a document on the table.

However, both Jamie Bryson and Carla Lockhart said the Portadown district won’t be accepting any deal that sees them walk away from their right to parade down the Garvaghy Road.

Sinn Féin's Mary Lou McDonald and First Minister Michelle O’Neill were back on the Garvaghy road with residents on Wednesday – with the First Minister saying that standing on the road with residents on Sunday was "the right thing to do".

Meanwhile, the leaders of the DUP and UUP say they expect to see prosecutions over the protest in the next few days.

27-year-old mum of four Geila Ibram was murdered in 2023 while working as a sex-worker n Limerick. The violent attack was committed by Habib Shah Shamel who in recent weeks has been in court for terrorism related offences. The case itself has reignited the call among campaign groups for the decriminalisation of the sex trade in Ireland. But with only 15 convictions for those buying sex between 2017 and 2024 it raises questions around how the sex trade operates in this country.

There is a stalemate in Portadown and deep division in Stormont.

On the Orange side, the issue is the rights of a small number of people to march their traditional route – backed by a legal ruling.

This is a local issue, but one which deep historical resonances, and one which many fear has brought Northern Ireland to the political brink.

Unionists accuse nationalists of not accepting the rule of law, while nationalists accuse unionists of unnecessarily opening an old wound.

Ciarán Dunbar is joined by Sam McBride and Allison Morris and hears from Claire Dickson in Portadown, and from Andrew Madden in Stormont.
