  "account": "The proposed Garvaghy Road Orange Order parade, scheduled for September 27, has raised concerns among residents and residents' groups across Northern Ireland. The parade, which has not taken place in almost 30 years, could potentially \"unravel\" deals reached in other former flashpoint areas where Orange Order parades were not welcomed. The Parades Commission is currently considering an application for the parade, but the decision is expected later in the week. Eleven residents' groups, including the Bogside Residents Association, Lower Ormeau Concerned Community, and Crumlin and Ardoyne Residents Association, have expressed solidarity with Garvaghy Road residents. They expressed concern that if the parade goes ahead, similar demands could emerge in other areas where residents have reached accommodations with the Orange Order. Upper Bann DUP MP Carla Lockhart criticized Sinn Féin for returning to its \"1990s playbook\" and urged direct engagement with the Portadown District of the Orange Order. She warned that Sinn Féin's tactics could \"unravel\" the compromises that have been reached, and that the days of unionism giving way and nationalism getting are over.",
