Michelle O’Neill concerned about site of unionist bonfire, as tensions rise over post-Brexit trading rules

Sinn Féin’s Michelle O’Neill – who is deputy to the new first minister, Paul Givan of the Democratic Unionist party (DUP), in the power-sharing administration – called particularly for calm over a bonfire set up in a contentious site in north Belfast.
