🔮 A fresh legal appeal by the residents is set to be heard in the Court of Appeal on Monday.
🔮 Stormont Justice Minister Naomi Long urged Orange Order members to “do the right thing”, saying they had the legal right to complete their march along the Garvaghy Road, but suggested doing so may not be wise.
🔮 I don’t know what time we’ll get back from there yet tonight, it might be possible for us to brief you at that time, but it could be 10pm, it could be 12 o’clock.

2026-10-01 · assertive framing · Drumcree talks continue as appeal postponed
🔮 On Wednesday, after hours of talks around Sir Chris’s proposed paper, Breandan Mac Cionnaith from the residents group said they would back it if the Orange Order did.
🔮 He also said he received assurances from PSNI Chief Constable Jon Boutcher that a criminal investigation was ongoing into “illegal road-blocking” and the frustration of a Parades Commission document, adding that police would begin activity in the next number of days. “The knocks on the doors will come, and the excuses may follow but the law needs to be seen to run, the law needs to apply equally to everyone,” he said.
🔮 “This will better prepare drivers for both the driving test and post-test driving period by helping learners understand how their attitude, personality, behaviour and emotions can affect their driving style.
🔮 Chief Superintendent Brian Sugrue, director of training and development at the Garda College, said just in terms of working with Devon and Cornwall Police they would expect the number of instructors trained to be in single figures by the end of this year.
🔮 Mr Mac Cionnaith said he had received “commitments” that the parade would not be proceeding down the Garvaghy Road overnight.
