Portadown cleans up operation after clashes between loyalist marchers and the police.
Business owners in Portadown started the week replacing broken windows and carrying out repairs to shopfronts.
An Orange Order parade which passed through the town yesterday ended in violence, when the RUC (Royal Ulster Constabulary) refused to permit Loyalist marchers through the nationalist Obins Street area.
A riot ensued, during which police officers fired plastic bullets. Twenty four members of the RUC received injuries, and at least nineteen civilians were injured.
For the past two days British Army units maintained a cordon around the district to ensure the safety of the Obins Street community, and to prevent the march passing through.
SDLP (Social Democratic and Labour Party) Senator Bríd Rogers says the atmosphere is still tense and a strong security presence needs to be maintained over the coming weeks.
The fear now is that there will be retaliations.
