Garvaghy residents 'refuse to meet Portadown Orangemen'

Nationalist residents in Portadown have reportedly refused to meet the local Orange Order to discuss this year's contentious Drumcree parade.

Church of Ireland Archbishop Robin Eames reportedly brokered a deal to bring the two sides together for talks, but unnamed sources told the Press Association news agency that the residents of the Garvaghy Road backed out of the meeting.
