Flags and parades debate at Tory fringe meeting 1 October 2013 Last updated at 06:14 The issues of parading, flags and the past are expected to be raised at a fringe meeting of the Conservative Party conference. DUP MEP Diane Dodds, Sinn Fein MP Michelle Gildernew and the Ulster Unionist Danny Kinahan will speak in Manchester. They will be having a breakfast meeting with Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers. They will be joined by Irwin Armstrong of the Northern Ireland Conservatives. Ms Villiers is to address the conference on Tuesday. The issues of parading, flags and past are being addressed as part of the multi-party talks chaired by US diplomat Richard Haass. The first part of the talks was held in September and they are to resume this month. On Sunday, Ms Villiers said she believed the issues of flags and parades will be easier to resolve than Northern Ireland's past.
