FMdFM Condemn 'Disgraceful Manifestations Of Criminality'
The First Minister and deputy First Minister have condemned those responsible for a number of incidents over the weekend, including the racist attack on an Islamic centre in Newtownards on Saturday and violence in L'Derry on Sunday night.
In a joint statement, Michelle O'Neill and Emma Little-Pengelly, said: "These incidents are wrong, unacceptable and are rejected by the vast majority of our community. They are disgraceful manifestations of criminality and have absolutely no justification.
"Our thoughts are with those PSNI officers injured last night and the victims of recent racist attacks.
"This senseless violence and intimidation has no place in our society and we would appeal for calm.
"Those responsible should be quickly brought before the courts and we urge anyone with information to provide it to the PSNI."
