Sinn Féin MLA Deirdre Hargey has slammed those behind a racist arson attack on a home in south Belfast on Thursday.
The South Belfast MLA said:
“I am absolutely appalled and disgusted to learn about an arson attack on a home in south Belfast on Thursday, which police are treating as racist.
“Thankfully, the family were uninjured, although this attack could have caused serious harm or damage.
“Belfast has stood tall over recent months and made it abundantly clear there is no place for racist thugs on our streets.
“Diversity in all of its forms is something to be championed and celebrated.
“Racism is a scourge on our society. It must be rejected and stopped now.”
