On October 30, 2026, police in Portadown announced they were preparing files on 18 suspects for prosecutors following a dispute over an Orange Order parade. Despite the Parades Commission granting permission for the first time in almost 30 years, the parade could not proceed due to large crowds protesting its route along the Garvaghy Road and safety concerns by police. Among those interviewed were First Minister Michelle O’Neill and Sinn Féin president Mary-Lou McDonald, alongside several other political representatives involved in supporting nationalist residents against the parade. The investigation involves 60 identified suspects, with a team of 30 officers analyzing over 70 hours of recorded material to determine potential breaches of the Parades Commission determination. Local MP Ms Lockhart had previously called for O’Neill's resignation, claiming "profound consequences" must be met after significant protests against the parade route.
