“Good Friday Agreement? That ship has sailed.' A photo of Leo Varadkar was burned at a loyalist bonfire in Co Tyrone last night.
A photo of Taoiseach Leo Varadkar was displayed on a bonfire and burned last night in Moygashel, Co Tyrone.
A mock copy of the Good Friday Agreement with the words “null and void” printed over it was also burned, along with a banner reading “Good Friday Agreement? That ship has sailed”Locals also made a sign reading “Moygashel says ‘No’ to Irish Sea border”, referring to the unionist and loyalist communities’ opposition to post-Brexit trading arrangements.
Most of the loyalist bonfires are set to be lit on July 11th, on the eve of the marking of the victory of the Protestant King William over the Catholic King James II in the Battle of the Boyne in 1690.
