I join colleagues in deploring the throwing of a coffin bearing the image of the late Martin McGuinness onto a bonfire in the North of Ireland last night. I find it very sad that anyone should rejoice in the death of another human being. I also think these bonfires are out of control. I have seen photographs of some of them and they were enormous. One of them was located next to a petrol station, which is madness. The Government in Northern Ireland should put in place proper controls and limitations in regard to these bonfires.

I also ask that the House note that Royal Dutch Shell has announced that it is selling its stake in Corrib gas to a Canadian company for €1.08 billion.
