MAGINNESS CONDEMNS NORTH BELFAST SHOOTING SDLP North Belfast MLA Alban Maginness condemned the shooting of a man in Ardoyne on Thursday evening. He said: “This is a serious development because it seems to have been more than a punishment attack as the man was shot in the abdomen. First of all, I appeal to anyone who may know anything about the circumstances of this attack to get in touch with the police. But we must do more. “The people of Ardoyne were at the sharp end of the troubles for decades and they suffered greatly. We have many difficult problems to deal with in the area, but the one thing we can be absolutely sure of is that those who carry out these shootings have no solutions to offer. They don’t want solutions, they want to keep communities in turmoil so they can exercise control. “They can only harm the community and they must be isolated in the community. They must realise that they will face our police and our courts and end up spending long periods in our jails. And when they are eventually released, they will have to come back into a much better and happier community which has long forgotten them and only has contempt for what they stood for and what they did to those they would probably claim are their own people.” |
