Alliance Lagan Valley MLA Trevor Lunn

Alliance MLA Trevor Lunn has strongly condemned those involved on attacks on Orange Halls. He said that the attacks cause disruption in the community because many halls are used for hosting events and community matters

Trevor Lunn MLA said: "Any attacks on public halls of any kind should be strongly condemned by everyone.

"This is a concerted campaign against the Orange Order and it is totally unacceptable. There were three attacks over the weekend.

"These attacks are extremely damaging to community relations in a time when Northern Ireland is finally moving forward.

"These halls are used by the wider community and these incidents affect many local people and cause a large amount of disruption."
