It is "inconceivable" that the loyalist killing of a Gaelic football fan during the Troubles could have been planned and carried out without the involvement of the security forces, a court hears. bbc.in/4icnIpT

Garvaghy Road Residents’ Coalition spokesman Breandán Mac Cionnaith says police intelligence reports raised in the Orange Order’s legal challenge amount to "supposition" rather than evidence, and that residents protested "peacefully" on the road. Speaking outside court, where judgement on the challenge to the Secretary of State’s decision to halt the parade is expected next week, Mr Mac Cionnaith said the dispute was resolved for his community in the 1990s.

Outside Musgrave PSNI Station this afternoon alongside Jack Murphy of Phoenix Law. 21 people died in the violence surrounding Drumcree. I’m proud to stand with the Garvaghy Road community, who refuse to go back to those days.

Due to the failure of the @CatholicBishops Archbishop Martin to honour the written terms that he agreed with the @st_colmans survivors, they are left with no alternative than to enforce against the co-defendant College who also agreed the terms binding them and making them liable

"No parade is no parade." Spokesman Breandán Mac Cionnaith speaks to reporters as he arrives for a meeting with the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. The talks come as Garvaghy Road residents have accused the British government of trying to lure them into a “stitched up” mediation process over the Drumcree parade dispute.
