In Northern Ireland. at Derrymacash, a village near the town of Lurgan in County Down, twenty miles from Belfast, a gathering of the local Orange Order, a fiercely Protestant group, clashed with local Catholic farmworkers who had come to jeer their parade.  Heavy drinking on both sides led to stone throwing and then to the Orangemen opening fire with pistols killing two Catholics and wounding fifteen others.
