Here is what the page “Northern Ireland Parade Dispute Hits Stalemate as Talks Continue” contains. The UK's Northern Ireland minister admitted on Monday that talks to overcome a dispute about a contentious pro-British Protestant parade through a mainly Catholic area had so far failed to resolve one of the region's worst crises in decades. Thousands of people occupied a road in Portadown, southwest of Belfast, on Sunday to prevent the parade by 35 members of the Orange Order. The standoff reflects deep-seated sectarian tensions that continue to haunt Northern Ireland more than two decades after the Good Friday Agreement.

The minister's admission underscores the difficulty of finding a compromise. Fresh talks are underway, but no breakthrough has been reached.
