Orangmen withdraw from Drumcree mediation talks

The Orange Order in Portadown, Co Armagh, has withdrawn from mediation talks with South African lawyer Brian Currin, blaming the intransigence of the Garvaghy Rd residents for the move.

In a statement released this morning, the Portadown District of the Orange Order said it has been trying to resolve the dispute over the Drumcree parade for years.
