Sinn Féin MLA Deirdre Hargey has said an attack on a block of flats in the Belvoir estate is “disgraceful” and must be condemned.

The South Belfast MLA said:

“This latest attack is an attempt to create fear and stir up hatred in South Belfast.

“This is disgraceful and must be unequivocally condemned by everyone, including all our political leaders.

“There is no place for this kind of behaviour in our society. And those engaged in these despicable attacks need to be taken off the streets. I call on anyone with information about those responsible for this attack to bring it forward to the police.

“Sinn Féin is committed to building a society based on equal rights and equal opportunities for all who live here.

“We want to work together to build a safe, welcoming and inclusive society for all.”
