Stormont ministers fail in High Court bid to have police help remove Tigers Bay bonfire The Bonfire in Adam Street in the Tigers Bay area Staff Reporter
Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon
TWO Stormont ministers last night failed in a High Court bid to have police forced to help in the removal of a controversial loyalist bonfire in north Belfast.
The action brought by infrastructure minister Nichola Mallon and communities minister Deirdre Hargey was dismissed after a judge sitting in an earlier emergency case refused to direct PSNI officers to intervene at the Tigers Bay site.
Separate proceedings had been issued on behalf of a woman whose home in the nationalist New Lodge is just across a peace line from the bonfire location.
