Riots often erupt during the summer months when Protestant groups hold traditional parades that are seen as provocative by nationalists, who want to be part of a united Ireland, and Catholics.

These parades are pretty much in celebration of the Protestant English invasion and conquest of the Catholic Irish.

The Parades are treated by the Protestants as religious processions but are really a celebration of colonial repression of Irish Catholics with a religiously tinged animus of them by the Protestants. I don’t think Jesus would approve of the Protestant parades or the Catholic counter riotings but it is clear the Protestants are the ones doing the provoking.
