Proposed deal would have accepted Orange Order's 'legal right' to walk down Garvaghy Road

A proposed compromise in the ongoing Drumcree parade dispute would have formally acknowledged the Orange Order's legal right to march along Garvaghy Road, contingent on the march not actually taking place. The deal's status is uncertain, as it has not been confirmed by all parties. This matters as it represents a potential shift in the long-standing Northern Ireland parading conflict, which has historically sparked sectarian violence.
