Northern Ireland Secretary Sir Chris Bryant banned the Drumcree Orange Order parade after talks between the Portadown District Lodge and Garvaghy Road residents failed. He said two compromise options were considered but neither secured agreement. The chief constable warned the procession could cause serious injury, disorder and wider unrest. Bryant defended the ban, saying the parade could not safely take place.
