Protests and a stalemate continue at Drumcree Church in Portadown, with protesters remaining overnight and Orange Order members still waiting to begin a permitted parade. Talks to resolve the dispute take place as the parties seek agreement over whether and how the march can proceed.
The dispute centers on the planned route through the area around Garvaghy Road, which is described by outlets as mainly nationalist. BBC reports that the Orange Order waits to start its permitted parade while negotiations continue. The Evening Standard and Irish Mirror similarly describe the stand-off as entering its third day, with further talks expected and demonstrators continuing to remain on site.
While all sources report the ongoing impasse and continuing negotiations, they focus on different timing details—such as talks occurring on Monday, the overnight presence, and the expectation of additional discussions—without describing a final resolution.
