Hendron hits out at East Belfast Church attack12.00.00am BST (GMT +0100) Fri 30th Sep 2005 Belfast Alliance Councillor Máire Hendron has hit out at vandals who smashed windows at a church in East Belfast. Speaking after the attacks on the Ian Paisley's Martyrs' Memorial Free Presbyterian Church on the Ravenhill Road, the Pottinger representative stated: "No matter what we think of the politics of those running these establishments, mindless attacks like this simply serve no purpose. "What precisely does such vandalism prove? It simply serves to divide our society and make it harder still to build a better future for us all. "It is quite clear that this is another example of 'recreational' thuggery. Community leaders must stand together and oppose such shameful behaviour unreservedly." ENDS
