Sinn Féin ministers survive no-confidence vote over Drumcree dispute
Motions of no confidence in Northern Ireland First Minister Michelle O'Neill and three other Sinn Féin ministers have failed in the Stormont assembly. The debate centered on their handling of the contentious Drumcree dispute and participation in protests against a planned Orange Order march. While unionist parties backed the bid to oust the ministers, the motions ultimately failed because they required cross-community support from both unionists and nationalists to pass. The political showdown highlights ongoing tensions surrounding parades and community relations in the region.
