Members of the loyalist Orange Order were blocked from marching along a largely nationalist street in Drumcree. Northern Ireland’s First Minister Michelle O’Neill has been accused of “breaking the law” on Garvaghy Road as protesters block the area in a bid to prevent a contentious Orange Order parade from passing. DUP leader Gavin Robinson said O' Neill, other ministers and elective representatives were "shameful" for "participating in an unlawful protest" and "giving two fingers to the police, the courts and the rule of law". The march route was a source of tension during the Troubles in 1990s, and hasn't been allowed to take place for nearly 30 years. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@itvnews?lang=en Follow ITV News on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV Ne
