Garvaghy Road talks collapse; NI Secretary cites 'rock and hard place'

Late-night negotiations to resolve the Garvaghy Road stand-off in Northern Ireland ended without agreement, with NI Secretary Chris Bryant describing the situation as between a 'rock and a hard place'. The stand-off, likely involving loyalist parades and nationalist residents, remains unresolved, posing a risk to local political stability. The lack of a deal underscores persistent communal tensions in the region.
