Councillor Slams Sectarian Church Attacks
Sinn Féin Newtownabbey councillor Gerry O’Reilly is slamming those responsible for the latest in a series of sectarian attacks on St Mary’s on the Hill church Carnmoney.
The Sinn Féin councillor said: "Last night's attack on St Mary’s on the Hill was the latest in a series of despicable sectarian acts against the church and this community
"Those involved must be condemned by the whole community and be swiftly brought before the courts.
"I'm calling on the PSNI to step up efforts to identify those involved. Anyone who believes it is ok to attack a place of worship is clearly a danger to the public and must be taken off the streets."
