DUP MP says unionists angry over Michelle O'Neill's role in protests
O'Neill previously dismissed a call from the DUP to resign over her role in protests against the Drumcree parade
A DUP MP says unionist voters are angry at Michelle O'Neill over her role in the Garvaghy Road protests and says it "cannot be business as usual" at Stormont.
Carla Lockhart said the DUP has it "within it's gift to remove" O'Neill as Northern Ireland's first minister.
On Friday, the secretary of state banned the Portadown District Lodge from marching down the mainly nationalist Garvaghy Road. His decision was welcomed by nationalist politicians but unionists have criticised the move.
O'Neill is one of a number of Sinn Féin politicians who have confirmed they received letters from the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) investigating protests over the Drumcree parading dispute.
Four key takeaways from the Drumcree dispute so far
Speaking to BBC NI's Sunday Politics programme outside Drumcree Church on Saturday, Lockhart said her constituents are angry.
"They're angry at the chief constable for allowing lawlessness to win, for allowing the mob to dictate," she said.
"They're angry at the secretary of state for his intervention, but the most palpable anger is at Michelle O'Neill, this self-proclaimed 'first minister for all' for breaking the law flagrantly on the Garvaghy Road, and thumbing her nose at unionism and at the Orange Order and at this community."
Police had repeatedly warned those taking part in the unnotified protest that they could be liable for arrest.
