Talks aimed at resolving the long-running dispute over the Garvaghy Road march are "tantalisingly close" to a resolution, Northern Ireland Secretary Chris Bryant has said.
The Garvaghy Road Residents' Coalition, a nationalist residents' group, has signalled it would accept a document setting out a resolution to the dispute, provided it is also accepted by unionists. Breandán Mac Cionnaith, the coalition's leader, said on Wednesday afternoon that he had reviewed the document drawn up by Bryant and his team.
The dispute centres on the Drumcree parade, a long-contested annual march that has been a flashpoint between unionist and nationalist communities in Northern Ireland for decades.
Whether the Orange Order, which organises the parade, will accept the proposed document remains to be seen, and further details of its contents were not included in the available source material.
