Do the authorities need to do more to tackle law-flouting bonfires?

Bonfires are a huge part of life for a lot of people in Northern Ireland. But as we reported on Wednesday they can also be highly divisive. Newtownabbey councillors have voted to spend £30k facilitating a bonfire site in Ballyduff. That sent the phones red hot. Well in the wake of that people living close to another bonfire site, also in Newtownabbey, got in touch with the Nolan show.

They said that even though it's only the 2nd week of April, construction is well underway. We were told one hundred tyres and hundreds of pallets are on the site already.
