Belfast Balloon Release Condemned By IOM Charity

Wed, 17 Oct 2018

Balloons were released over Belfast

An Island environmental group has condemned a balloon release in Northern Ireland.

The bereavement charity Life After Loss held their annual balloon release a few days ago.

That’s despite Belfast city council having a voluntary ban in place for such events.

The Manx Wildlife Trust is worried debris from the balloons debris will wash up on the Island’s shores.

They are asking anyone who finds a balloon with the words 'life after loss' to contact them.
