Police are investigating the placing of the Tricolour and a picture of the Taoiseach on a loyalist bonfire as a 'hate crime'.
Unionists have been criticized for placing an Irish flag and a picture of Taoiseach Leo Varadkar on a bonfire in Northern Ireland ahead of the 12th of July celebrations. The pyre in Tyrone featured an image of the Irish leader, the Irish tricolor, and a mock Good Friday Agreement.
‘What happened in burning the flag of our neighbouring state and burning the poster of Leo Varadkar was wrong’, said the DUP leader today.
DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson and UUP leader Doug Beattie condemned the placing of the picture of Leo Varadkar on the bonfire in Co Tyrone.
