Sinn Féin MLA Deirdre Hargey has condemned the latest attempt to intimidate children and adults playing sport on Henry Jones Playing Fields.
The South Belfast MLA said:
“It is absolutely sickening and disgraceful that police are dealing with yet another security alert at Henry Jones Playing Fields, used by East Belfast GAA.
“These disgusting attempts to intimidate children and adults playing sport on these pitches and to subvert the growth of Gaelic games in the area must stop.
“This is an attack on the entire community and must be condemned by all political representatives and sporting organisations.
“We must stand as a collective against this vile behaviour which is unwanted and uncalled for in today’s society.”
