Licences for bonfires? Stormont Minister pushes ahead with his big idea #BBCNolan

Environment Minister Mark Durkan is pushing ahead with his bid to introduce licences for bonfires. The Minister has written to councils asking for their views, and setting out how a licensing system could work. Mr Durkan has voiced concern about massive bonfires being built very close to people's homes and the sectarian burning of effigies. But could a licensing system be a success? Well we did ask the Minister to come on this morning but we're told he's not available. We can speak to community worker Phil Hamilton and to the Minister's SDLP colleague MLA Claire Hanna
