Northern Ireland's First Minister, Michelle O'Neill, will be interviewed by police this week over her part in the Garvaghy Road protest in Portadown. Sinn Féin president Mary Lou McDonald will also be questioned. Protesters blocked an Orange Order parade there last month, which was later banned. O'Neill said she was proud to stand with residents. Unionists accuse her of breaking her ministerial pledge of office.
