Neeson Condemns Sectarian Attacks

12.00.00am BST (GMT +0100) Mon 14th Aug 2000

Alliance Party Leader Sean Neeson has condemned the sectarian attacks, which have taken place in East Antrim in the last twenty four hours.

Mr Neesons says: The blatant sectarian attacks on the Ornage Hall in Carnlough and the Catholic Church and homes in the Carrickfergus area can only raise fear and tension right across the community.

It is somewhat ironic that some of the people who inspired these attacks in East Antrim and throughout Northern Ireland would claim to be supporters of the Good Friday Agreement.

The people who carry out these attacks are not only poisoning the community with their hatred but also they are making it more difficult for people like myself to try and attract new investment to here.

ENDS.
