PSNI told ,in no uncertain terms,at a meeting in North Belfast 2 hours ago that any movement on the Tigers Bay bonfire will be seen as a direct,unwarranted attack on all of Loyalism. Should it occur then a mass mobilisation of the Loyalist community would commence.

Question is the Casement Park costs have increased from £77m to £144m .GAA refusing to increase on their £15m input. Another £70m required, who is footing the bill?? Let's see if health and cost of living hold priority now .
