Only a matter of weeks into the ‘marching season’ and already there have been a number of serious sectarian incidents linked to loyalists across the north of Ireland- and here in Ballymena and here in Garvagh. The Rev. Brian Kennaway’s book may have been a rude awakening for many unionists, but for nationalists the marching Orders and their ‘season’ will forever remain tainted until they deal comprehensively with the sectarian excesses of those either within their ranks or who accompany them.
We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!
For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.
Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.
If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
