Memorial Attacked In Cookstown
A memorial, laid in memory of eight workmen who were murdered by the IRA in 1992, has been attacked in Cookstown.
The incident on the Teebane Memorial happened in the Drum Road area in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Ulster Unionist MLA for Mid-Ulster, Sandra Overend, condemned the attack.
She said: "It is utterly shameful that someone has taken it upon themselves to take the flowers and wreaths and scatter them across the road in the early hours of Sunday morning. This disgraceful act of vandalism should shame those who carried it out.
"My thoughts are obviously with the families of those who were murdered by the IRA at Teebane, as they are left to cope with this unnecessary distress. If anyone has any information about who was responsible for this vandalism, I would urge them to contact the PSNI on 101."
