Sinn Féin MLA Deirdre Hargey has slammed those behind the second security alert in two days at Henry Jones Playing Fields, used by East Belfast GAA.
The South Belfast MLA said:
“It is absolutely disgraceful that police are attending a second security alert in two days at pitches used by East Belfast GAA.
“Each one of these incidents are despicable attempts to intimidate children and adults playing sport.
“Those behind this vile behaviour must be brought to justice and face the full force of the law. We need to see a more robust response to ensure this endless cycle of attacks are stopped and those responsible are apprehended.
“Gaelic games continue to flourish across our community, the deplorable actions of a minority will not subvert this growth.”
