Absolutely despicable behaviour. Unionist leadership needs to come out strong against this nonsense and call it for what it is.Most of the bonfires, which are normally lit ahead of loyal order parades across Northern Ireland on July 12, pass off without incident but some continue to be the source of controversy.One of the tallest bonfires in recent years has been at Craigyhill in Larne, which reportedly reached 62 metres in 2022.
The fires are traditionally ignited on the eve of July 12 before thousands of members of the Orange Order and accompanying marching bands take to the streets at 18 locations across Northern Ireland to commemorate the Battle of the Boyne in 1690.
