First minister to face no-confidence vote over Drumcree row
O'Neill and three fellow Sinn Féin ministers are each set to face a no-confidence vote
Northern Ireland's First Minister Michelle O'Neill is to face a no-confidence vote at Stormont over her handling of the Drumcree parading dispute.
The motions against her and three other Sinn Féin ministers are set to be debated after receiving the backing of unionist parties.
But the attempt to oust them will fail as it requires cross-community support from a majority of both unionists and nationalists in the assembly.
It comes amid a major political row over a planned Orange Order march in Portadown, County Armagh.
O'Neill and other senior Sinn Féin politicians have been heavily criticised by unionists for joining protests which have blocked the parade from passing along the mainly nationalist Garvaghy Road.
Police are investigating the demonstrations in a "large-scale" criminal inquiry.
O'Neill has defended her actions, saying she was "proud" to stand with the residents and adding that "when the law is wrong I will stand firmly against it".
In the assembly on Monday, the Sinn Féin vice-president described the planned Orange march as "unwanted, sectarian and triumphalist".
The exclusion motions have been submitted against O'Neill and fellow Sinn Féin ministers John O'Dowd, Caoimhe Archibald and Liz Kimmins.
