Bonfire Regulation

Bonfire Regulation
That this Assembly notes that this summer has again seen illegal and unregulated bonfires on contaminated land, placed dangerously close to hospitals, and used as platforms for racist and sectarian displays; further notes that the Commission on Flags, Identity, Culture and Tradition report set out a framework to regulate bonfires including limits on the materials that can be used, the distance that bonfires can be placed from physical structures and the prevention of flags, emblems and election posters being displayed and burnt; and calls for the implementation of the Commission’s recommendations to put in place bonfire regulations that prevents threats to public safety, pollution to the environment and attempts to spread hate.
