'We take pride in what we do' - group representing bonfire builders talk to the Nolan Show

Since January we've been reporting on bonfire material being left in east Belfast. Pallets and toxic tyres were dumped at a controversial bonfire site in east Belfast.

Since January we've been reporting on bonfire material being left in East Belfast. Pallets and toxic tyres were dumped at a controversial bonfire site beside the 拢40m Connswater Community Greenway project. Stephen said he would like the opportunity to speak to one of the bonfire builders to get a better understanding of things from their perspective. A group representing them has taken up that offer and is in the studio this morning, Robert Osborne from Bloomfield Community Support Group, who was a head bonfire collector in recent years. Also joining Stephen was loyalist blogger Jamie Bryson.

Also on the programme, Sinn Fein MEP Martina Anderson addressed the European Parliament yesterday, rejecting any kind of border in Ireland after Brexit. She said rather than listen to concerns over Brexit, Ireland had been told to "get over it". Former MP Edwina Currie and commentator Jude Collins discuss.
