MAGINNESS:
ARDOYNE SHOOTING A 'BACKWARD STEP'
13-10-09
SDLP
North Belfast MLA Alban Maginness has condemned the shooting of
a man in the Ardoyne area of the city last night (Monday).
Mr
Maginness, who is SDLP spokesperson on justice, said no-one has
the right to inflict injuries on anybody in society.
He said: “I
utterly condemn this incident. This is a retrospect step back
to a time we want to leave behind. Nobody has the right to inflict
any kind of physical harm on another individual.
“I hope
those responsible are quickly brought to justice and a message
is sent out to other thugs still stuck in the past that they will
go to jail for their actions.
“I urge
anybody with information regarding this crime to contact the police.
Those responsible must be told from the community that there is
no support for this type of activity.”
