The more than three decade old ‘Drumcree conflict’ reignited in Northern Ireland over the weekend after the Protestant Orange Order was granted permission to march down the largely Catholic Garvaghy Road in Portadown. Local Catholic and nationalist residents filled the streets to block the parade, and had the support of the likes of Sinn Féin. But this local dispute is really a national one with deeply-rooted divisions. It could have major political implications too, as the Democratic Unionist Party has accused First Minister Michelle O’Neill of breaking the law by supporting the protest, leaving Northern Ireland’s already fragile power-sharing government on the brink.

Despite the scientific and medical advice, some still seem sceptical about the idea of wearing a face mask. The rationale changes from person to person, but many seem to believe masks impede their freedom and could potentially make them ill. In this video, we examine masks, discuss if they work and consider the validity of these conspiracy theories.
