A DUP MLA has claimed there is a “clear precedent” for criminal proceedings over protests on the Garvaghy Road, as the PSNI investigation moves to its next phase.
More than 100 prosecutions for road-blocking offences have been brought in Northern Ireland over the past decade.
A number of Sinn Féin representatives and party members have received letters from police, including First Minister Michelle O’Neill, while West Belfast MLA Gerry Carroll has been invited to attend a voluntary interview under caution.
The PSNI’s decision to move the investigation forward has been welcomed by DUP leader Gavin Robinson.
Sinn Féin TD for Louth, Ruairí Ó Murchú, who has been supporting residents on the Garvaghy Road joined us on The Agenda this morning to talk to us some more about this.
