北爱尔兰事务大臣克里斯·布莱恩特宣布，他将禁止有争议的德拉姆克里游行。
The Northern Ireland secretary, Chris Bryant, has announced he will ban the contentious Drumcree parade.
布莱恩特表示，橙带会与波塔当加瓦希路民族主义居民之间未能达成妥协。双方的对峙已持续近两周。
Bryant said it had not been possible to find accommodation between the Orange Order and the nationalist residents of the Garvaghy Road in Portadown. The standoff between the two sides has lasted almost two weeks.
游行委员会两周前裁定，游行可以在有限制的情况下沿加瓦希路行进。
The Parades Commission ruled two weeks ago that the march could pass along the Garvaghy Road with restrictions in place.
但由于路上有大规模抗议，从德拉姆克里教堂进入波塔当的游行未能进行。
But the parade from Drumcree church into Portadown did not happen because of a large protest on the road.
布莱恩特对PA Media表示：“过去两周，大家都看到了德拉姆克里和波塔当发生的严重对峙和困难局面。我一直在努力寻找解决这一对峙的办法。
Bryant told PA Media: “Everybody will have seen over the last two weeks that there’s been a major standoff and a difficult situation in Drumcree and Portadown. I’ve been trying to find a solution to that standoff.
“我听取了双方的论点，包括加瓦希路居民和橙带会。我们一直在商讨，试图找到解决方案，但遗憾的是未能做到。”
“I’ve had both sides of the argument, both the Garvaghy Road residents and the Orange Order, in. We’ve been talking it through, trying to find a solution, and unfortunately we’ve not been able to do that.”
他补充说：“今天早些时候，北爱尔兰警察局（PSNI）首席警官与我联系，要求我审视游行委员会的原始裁定，看其是否仍然有效。我审视了波塔当不断变化的局势，考虑到游行很难继续进行，我认为继续游行不符合公共利益，因此我禁止了这次游行。”
He added: “Earlier today, the chief constable of the PSNI (Police Service of Northern Ireland) got in touch with me and asked me to look at the original determination by the Parades Commission to see whether it should still stand, and I’ve looked at the changing situation in Portadown, the fact that it’s very difficult for that procession to proceed, and I’ve decided that it’s not in the public interest for it to proceed, and I’ve therefore banned the procession.”
