The day centre gates at night

Guest writer Gerard O'Halloran with a piece on the bonfire in his area where he lives in West Belfast.
The good news for Feile an Phobail which is bringing joy and jobs to west Belfast at a time of year once marked by horror and hardship' - Andersonstown News
This past week we have got caught up in the bonfire issue. This was never our fight. We entered into the issue around bonfires due to the negative impact one bonfire was having upon a disabled facility in Beechmount. It was inevitable that we were going to get caught up in this. This past week or so we were so concerned about this negative impact on our daughters' day centre that we were compelled to go to Sinn Fein and anyone else who would listen to us. To be fair they gave us a good hearing. And Ciaran Beattie, councillor for the area, explained to us that the bonfire would have been cleared a few weeks ago but for the parish priest who refused permission for workers to go on to the land owned by the Church and have it cleared.
