Michelle O'Neill invited for police interview over Garvaghy Road protest
The PSNI said 100 protesters and senior Sinn Féin figures were involved as the Drumcree dispute over an Orange Order parade entered its 13th day.
- On Friday, Northern Ireland First Minister Michelle O'Neill confirmed she received a letter from the PSNI inviting her for a police interview regarding her attendance at a protest on the Garvaghy Road.
- The PSNI began issuing letters on Thursday to individuals "reasonably suspected of committing offences" at the protest, which blocked an Orange Order parade route from Drumcree Church for the first time in 30 years.
- Sinn Féin colleagues Conor Murphy, Gerry Kelly, and John O'Dowd also received correspondence. O'Neill stated she will "co-operate fully" with the investigation, citing solidarity with Garvaghy Road residents.
- Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly of the Democratic Unionist Party called the letters "absolutely the right thing." O'Neill faces a motion of no confidence when the Northern Ireland Assembly sits on Monday.
- Sinn Féin President Mary Lou McDonald reiterated calls for Northern Ireland Secretary Sir Chris Bryant to intervene, arguing the march must be definitively taken off the table during the 13-day Drumcree stand-off.
