The FICT commission remarkably achieved agreement between all the parties on a way forward on bonfires. The commission acknowledged the wish of people to have a bonfire as a form of cultural celebration or commemoration but noted that bonfires currently take place in an unclear legal environment. The commission set out recommendations for bonfires to take place in a legal manner ensuring safety and respect for all.
This talk will debate these proposals.
Speakers:
- Professor Dominic Bryan, co-chair of the FICT Commission
- Dale Pankhurst, unionist commentator and former DUP councilor.
- Conor Maskey, Sinn Fein councillor.
Chair: Avila Kilmurray, Social Change Initiative.
