On Sunday, protesters on the Garvaghy Road were joined by members of Sinn F\u00e9in, including O’Neill, and the Social Democratic Labour Party.<\/p>\n
The Democratic Unionist Party subsequently accused O’Neill of acting unlawfully as notice of the protest had not been lodged.<\/p>\n
Sir Chris said “nobody should be attending an unlawful protest”, but he added it was not his job “to decide whether somebody has or hasn’t broken the law”.<\/p>\n
Assistant Chief Constable Ryan Henderson has said a “dedicated enquiry team” had been established, which was currently reviewing evidence gathered and “anyone who has broken the law will be investigated”.<\/p>\n
The Portadown District of the Orange Order also lodged a complaint with the chief constable in relation to O’Neill and McDonald’s attendance.<\/p>\n
In a statement on Tuesday, the County Grand Orange Lodge of Belfast said its position was clear.<\/p>\n
“There is a lawful Parades Commission determination in place. This has been upheld by the courts,” it said. <\/p>\n
“It is now for the PSNI to uphold the rule of law and facilitate the completion of the return home.”<\/p>\n
The Deputy First Minister, the DUP’s Emma Little-Pengelly, criticised O’Neill for travelling to Dublin instead of attending the Northern Ireland Assembly on Tuesday afternoon and rejected suggestions her party was raising tensions.<\/p>\n
Little-Pengelly argued it was O’Neill who was “on the Garvaghy Road at the weekend chanting, encouraging people to break the law”.<\/p>\n
“She needs to come to this house and answer questions and subject herself to that scrutiny,” she added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
