NI secretary instructs officials to consider 'contingency plans' around budget (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The secretary of state has said he has instructed officials to consider "contingency plans" around a budget for Northern Ireland, in the ongoing absence of agreement from the executive on a funding offer. Last week, Sir Chris Bryant said the deal of £1.5bn over three years was the "final offer" and had given parties a deadline of Thursday. Stormont Finance Minister John O'Dowd and Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) leader Jon Burrows had asked the government to push back the deadline, in light of polit
Drumcree parade will not be policed at any cost - PSNI Chief Constable Jon Boutcher (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Northern Ireland's top police officer has said the force's "principle objective" is to police the decision to allow a parade down the Garvaghy Road in Portadown, but added this would not be done "at any cost".

Stormont future depends on Drumcree outcome (opens the original)
Read excerpt

The former police officer took over as party leader at the start of this year, after being co-opted to Stormont as an assembly member (MLA) last summer. Burrows is expected to tell delegates that unionism "must grow its support rather than simply divide the vote it already has". That comes after calls from DUP leader Gavin Robinson
Stormont: UK government declines to increase financial help (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The government has declined to increase its offer of financial help to the Northern Ireland Executive beyond what it put on the table two weeks ago. Earlier this month, the Secretary of State Sir Chris Bryant made an offer of a financial package worth about £1.5bn over the next three years - that was a rise from an initial proposal of £1.1bn. But executive parties said it did not go far enough and have argued that significant gaps remain before they can agree to a deal that would allow them to s
