Attempts to find a solution to a long-running parade dispute in Northern Ireland have ended without an agreement.
Northern Ireland Secretary Chris Bryant held several rounds of discussions with representatives of the Orange Order and residents of Garvaghy Road in Portadown.
The talks were aimed at finding a way forward after the Orange Order was prevented from carrying out a planned march through the mainly nationalist area.
The parade route had been restricted for almost three decades following serious unrest linked to previous Drumcree marches.
The Parades Commission recently approved a limited version of the parade after an earlier decision to maintain the restrictions was overturned because of a procedural issue.
However, residents have continued to oppose the march and have remained near Garvaghy Road, while Orange Order members have stayed near the beginning of the route.
Bryant said several possible compromises had been discussed, including mediation and an arrangement in which the Orange Order's legal right to march would be recognised but the march would not take place.
Another proposal involving a final parade followed by no further applications was also discussed, but neither option produced an agreement.
The dispute is now expected to return to court on Monday, when residents will challenge the interpretation of police advice that was used by the Parades Commission when making its decision.
The latest stand-off has revived memories of the wider tensions associated with the Drumcree dispute during the period known as the Troubles.
Police have remained between the groups while attempting to prevent the situation from escalating.
The Orange Order and the Garvaghy Road Residents' Coalition remain divided over whether the parade should proceed.
Further developments are expected after Monday's legal proceedings.
