Northern Ireland's Communities Minister, Gordon Lyons, is to be referred to the standards commissioner over a fire at Larne Leisure Centre, which was used as an emergency rest center for those affected by riots in nearby Ballymena. The opposition leader, Matthew O'Toole, plans to refer Lyons, stating that his actions cannot be ignored. The fire coincided with a third night of public disorder in Ballymena, following an earlier peaceful protest.
