Bonfire season heats up as man arrested following replica of mosque placed on pyre
Published 3 months ago
Description
Summer has begun, and once again, controversies continue to surround bonfire season.
A man has been arrested over the erection of a replica of a mosque on top of a bonfire in Moygashel with a loyalist source in the area warning that any attempt to move in on the bonfire will result in a ‘stand-off’.
Paramilitary flags remain flying on streets and other bonfires across Northern Ireland just weeks after the PSNI were legally given powers to remove them, including banners in Antrim and Dungannon eulogising Loyalist Terror Chief Billy Wright.
Olivia Peden is joined by Belfast telegraph reporter Abdullah Sabri.
