An Irish flag and a poster of Taoiseach Leo Varadkar were also placed on top of the pyre
An Irish flag and a poster of Taoiseach Leo Varadkar were placed on top of a loyalist bonfire in Co Tyrone.By Saturday evening, a banner reading “Good Friday Agreement? That ship has sailed” had been added to the side of the boat, and a mock copy of the 1998 accord with the words “null and void” printed over it.The bonfire, titled “No Irish Sea Border Bonfire”, was lit around 11pm following a parade and an address by loyalist activist Jamie Bryson.
There has been controversy in previous years, with politicians’ election posters and Irish flags placed on the pyres.Orange lodges from counties Donegal, Monaghan and Cavan – along with guests from Northern Ireland – took part in the seaside procession in Rossnowlagh. It led to violent clashes for several summers and political tensions necessitating a major security operation.
