PSNI Discover Graffiti Aimed At Intimidating Alliance MLA

Extensive offensive graffiti aimed at intimidating an Alliance MLA has been discovered by police in Carrickfergus.

MLA Stewart Dickson said the graffiti aimed at intimidating him will not succeed.

Mr Dickson said: "I will always speak up for what is right. Those behind this graffiti, or the flying of offensive flags in the town, do not represent the majority, who want Carrickfergus to remain an open and welcoming place and I will continue to give that majority a voice."
