Drumcree and Garvaghy Road policing operation has cost £3m (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Chief Constable Jon Boutcher has said the policing operation over the Drumcree parading dispute has cost about £3m so far. Speaking at a meeting of the Policing Board, he described the situation as "challenging" - but said that despite "very significant tensions" there had been no violence. The stand-off - over a proposed Orange Orange parade in Portadown, opposed by nationalist residents of the Garvaghy Road - has lasted since Sunday morning. The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has de
Rory O'Kelly: ICRIR publishes first report into the death of murdered Catholic solicitor (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The daughter of a solicitor murdered by the IRA in 1977 has said a meeting where she and her brother learned the details of their father's death moved them into a "space of serenity and light, all anger taken away".

Drumcree: Nationalist residents groups warn some parading settlements 'could unravel' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Almost a dozen nationalist residents' groups have warned some parading settlements "could unravel" if the Orange Order insists on marching down the Garvaghy Road in Portadown.

A largely forgotten Orange Order marching dispute, from one of the darkest periods of Northern Ireland's past, has thrown the Parades Commission into crisis. It has also picked at old wounds, re-igniting arguments about rights and respect in a divided society. In the late 1990s, the Drumcree parade cranked up tensions to levels felt during the worst of the Troubles, resulting in murders, riots, and roadblocks. The issue, if not officially settled, had been in a coma until Tuesday's High Court ou
High Court quashes decision to restrict Orange Order parade (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A decision by the Parades Commission to impose restrictions on one of the most contentious parades in Northern Ireland has been quashed in the High Court. It follows a legal challenge brought by a member of the Orange Order over its annual parade at Drumcree outside Portadown. The commission had banned this year's parade from entering the mainly nationalist Garvaghy Road - a move which reflected every decision it has made since 1998. It has been claimed the case may pave the way for a future par
