Poster of Taoiseach Leo Varadkar burned on loyalist bonfire in Tyrone
The pyre in Moygashel previously garnered attention online after a boat was placed on it.
By yesterday evening, a banner reading “Good Friday Agreement? That ship has sailed” had been added to the side of the boat.
The bonfire was lit around 11pm following a parade and an address by loyalist activist Jamie Bryson.
UUP leader Doug Beattie said it is "not acceptable" and is "childish and promotes hate".
