Ahern warns of escalation if Drumcree stand-off unresolved

Former Irish PM Bertie Ahern has publicly warned that the ongoing Drumcree parade dispute could escalate if not resolved soon, and has indicated willingness to mediate, though no formal request has been made. The stand-off, a recurring sectarian flashpoint in Northern Ireland, remains unresolved, with Ahern's intervention signaling potential political pressure for a negotiated settlement.
