NI bonfire association warn PSNI ‘the deal is off’ as PUL reveal discontent

The message put up on social media says: “ATTENTION PSNI -THE DEAL IS OFF!

“Moygashel will be going ahead with their 11th july bonfire this year.

“Each year Moygashel Bonfire Association liaise with the local community policing team to keep them informed of the schedule of events ahead.

“After careful consideration and the general feeling among the local community the bonfire team has made the decision NOT to engage with the PSNI on any level until confidence within the PUL community towards policing and justice has been restored.

“The continued threat of a return to violence by sinn fein/ira appears to hold them above the law and gives them a free rein to act as they please with no consequences.

“This is a very dangerous message to send out to young Loyalists!”

Moygashel lies outside Dungannon in Co Tyrone.
