North Belfast MLA Alban Maginness has condemned last night’s
attack on Clifton Street Orange Hall in the city.
He
said: “This is not political action by the crowd of thugs
who carried out this attack, it is political vandalism.
“The
community was happy with the Orange Order’s recent decision
to remove the protective steel cage surrounding the hall and this
is the thanks they get.
“Those
who carried out this attack are trying to provoke a reaction and
the local community will stand strong against them.
“These
criminals will not be allowed to sabotage the agreed Ireland we
have worked so hard to achieve.”
