Loyalist activist Jamie Bryson is planning to picket businesses in the North that sponsor GAA teams because he claims the organisation "supports terrorists".

The 23-year-old, who has attracted much media attention as a leading figure in the Belfast City Hall flag protests, has vowed to place uniformed loyalist bandsmen outside their premises.

"I will be asking (loyalists) to go to the places that sponsor the GAA," he told the Irish News.

"I think the GAA is supportive of terrorists and people who sponsor the GAA support the glorification of terrorists. My campaign against the appeasement process is a peaceful civil rights campaign. I'm not driving car bombs into Belfast."

Ironically, Bryson has been pictured in the past holding a hurl and the Erin go Bragh flag which has been seen at Ireland soccer matches in recent years.

Ulster Council spokesman John Connolly refused to be drawn on Bryson's plans.

"We are non-political and we are not getting into that," he said. Tweet
