Drumcree: No deal over Garvaghy Road, £3m spent so far, O'Neill defiant

The standoff between the Orangemen on Drumcree and the residents of the Garvaghy Road continues in Portadown.

Negotiations involving the Secretary of State Chris Bryant, the Orange Order, and Garvaghy Road residents have so far failed to reach an agreement.

Garvaghy Road residents' spokesman Breandán Mac Cionnaith confirmed on Wednesday that there was a document on the table.

However, both Jamie Bryson and Carla Lockhart said the Portadown district won’t be accepting any deal that sees them walk away from their right to parade down the Garvaghy Road.

Sinn Féin's Mary Lou McDonald and First Minister Michelle O’Neill were back on the Garvaghy road with residents on Wednesday – with the First Minister saying that standing on the road with residents on Sunday was "the right thing to do".

Meanwhile, the leaders of the DUP and UUP say they expect to see prosecutions over the protest in the next few days.
