Evidence (2023-06-02): The political transition from the UUP to the DUP was characterized by hardened convictions within the Order and their desire to ensure the continuation of Protestant heritage in Northern Ireland by sympathizing with hardline DUP policies.

That summer almost 2,000 families had to evacuate their homes, with rioters looting properties and dumping civilians’ belongings onto the streets.
