Sinn Féin MP John Finucane has described a racially motivated arson attack in Newtownabbey as ‘sickening and deplorable’.
The North Belfast MP said:
“The racist attack on a business in Newtownabbey in the early hours of this morning was absolutely sickening and deplorable.
“This business operates to serve our community and employ workers. It is totally unacceptable that it has been targeted in this way.
“These disgusting and disgraceful attacks which are fuelled by racism, hatred and discrimination have no place in our inclusive and forward-looking society.
“Those intent on causing hate and stirring up division must face the full force of the law, and I would appeal to anyone who may have information on this incident to bring it forward to police.”
