Sinn Fein members’ homes attacked in west Belfast
The homes of two Sinn Fein members have been attacked in West Belfast.
The homes of Lisburn councillor, Paul Butler and MLA, Fra McCann, were both hit by ball bearings. No-one was hurt during the attacks, although a window was broken at McCann’s home.
Mr Butler claimed that loyalists were using information held by the police to launch attacks on republican homes. He said: “Whoever is behind these attacks has accurate information about the addresses of republicans. The only agency that has this information is the PSNI. However, those behind the attacks need to realize that they will not succeed in intimidating Sinn Fein elected representatives from doing our jobs.”
