John Steele, 37, died following an incident at a pyre in the Antiville area of Larne on July 9
Mid and East Antrim Council has been asked to supply health and safety policies around loyalist bonfires to a coroner ahead of an inquest into the death of a man in Larne.
In 2021, it hired contractors to remove a pyre at the Bloomfield Walkway site in the east of the city, an action which sparked disorder.At a pre-inquest review on Tuesday, Coroner Joe McCrisken said at this stage the council was listed as an attendee, and not as an interested person.That status would allow the council to respond within the inquest to any potential criticism of their policies.
Mr McCrisken asked for the council to supply him with copies of any health and safety policies regarding bonfires in general, and particularly the bonfire at which Mr Steele died, and any risk assessments or event applications.
