Summarised from 2 outlets · 3 reports · Updated 8 Oct, 15:55 · Archive
Northern Ireland's First Minister Michelle O'Neill is appearing on The Late Late Show to discuss an ongoing Drumcree parade dispute.
A stand-off has been ongoing for twelve days between residents of the Garvaghy Road and the local district lodge of the Orange Order over a proposed march down the predominantly nationalist road in Drumcree, Portadown.
Michelle O'Neill, Northern Ireland's First Minister, is appearing on The Late Late Show on Friday night to discuss the dispute and its impact. RTE's preview said she would discuss 'the ongoing stand-off on the Garvaghy Road, the impact of the dispute and what the current situation might mean for the debate around a united Ireland'.
O'Neill has called on the Northern Ireland Secretary to end the dispute. She has been accused by others of snubbing an Assembly scrutiny committee that invited both First and deputy First Ministers to face questions over good relations amid the dispute.
The PSNI announced on Thursday that it will issue letters to those suspected of having committed criminal offences during the parading dispute. Assistant Chief Constable Davy Beck said police were moving to the next phase of a large-scale criminal investigation, with letters to be issued to those 'reasonably suspected of committing offences'.
