North Antrim Alliance Representative, Jayne Dunlop

North Antrim Alliance Representative, Jayne Dunlop, has condemned racist attacks on two houses in Dervock in North Antrim. Windows were smashed in the attacks, which took place in McArthur Avenue estate last Friday.

Jayne Dunlop said: "These racist attacks are absolutely disgusting. It is shocking to hear that two families were attacked in the same area of Dervock.

"Racism must be stamped out, and I hope that police bring the culprits to justice swiftly in order to send out a strong message that it will not be tolerated.

"I would encourage anyone who is the victim of a racist incident or people who witness such acts to report them to police immediately, to ensure that such disgraceful activities are stopped."
