Ulster Unionist Leader Mike Nesbitt MLA has welcomed the news of a breakthrough agreement between the Orange Order and local residents, that looks set to end the stand off in north Belfast.
The Leader of the Opposition said:
"This will be an enormous relief to most. While the camp at Twaddell may have offered a focal point for justified frustration and anger in the early days of the impasse, it had become an expensive and ineffective initiative.
"I hope the parade will now be allowed to pass peacefully and respectfully."
