Protestant marching season has brought with it significant unrest in Belfast and other cities. The parades peak in mid-July, but other observances continue through the summer. Follow local press reports for planned events and potential trouble areas; consider avoiding Derry Aug. 12 when the Apprentice Boys hold their annual march around the city, an event that has flared into violence in the past.

Northern Ireland

David Trimble kept his vow to resign as first minister of the Northern Ireland Assembly July 1 if the IRA didn’t begin disarming, casting doubt on the future of the power sharing accord. A political crisis looms, and what effect it will have on current tensions between the Catholic and Protestant communities remains to be seen. Meanwhile, the most contentious Protestant parades are scheduled for July 8 in Portadown and July 12 in Derry. Avoid these and other marches.
