The march, planned for Sunday morning on the mainly-nationalist Garvaghy Road, was blocked by protesters before they later dispersed. Northern Ireland Secretary Sir Chris Bryant returned from the Labour Party conference to urge both sides to "double down on compromise," but a solution is described as still distant.
