Orange Hall Attacked In South Belfast
Graffiti has been painted on the wall and shutters of an Orange Hall in south Belfast.
The vandalism, at the building on the Mealogh Road area in Carryduff, was discovered by lodge members who were attending a meeting on Wednesday, 23 August.
A spokesman from the Orange Order said: "Orange halls are an easy target for such sinister activity and we would urge those moronic individuals responsible for such hate crime to desist."
Sinn Féin spokesperson Ryan Carlin condemned the incident.
He said: "I condemn this act of vandalism on Carryduff Orange Hall which was clearly designed to damage relationships in the local community.
"Those responsible represent nobody and have nothing positive to offer.
"I would appeal to anyone with information about those responsible for this act of vandalism to report it to the PSNI."
The Mealough hall incident is the ninth reported attack on Orange property so far this year.
