McGuigan condemns Loughgiel security alert

Sinn Féin MLA Philip McGuigan, has condemned the disruption caused to Loughgiel residents as a result of a security alert.

The North Antrim MLA said:

“Roads in and out of Loughgiel have been closed all day. 60 houses have been affected with residents not able to leave their homes.

“Young children were taken off the hurling field this morning and Sunday Mass in the village also had to be cancelled.

“Lots of residents would have walked passed the lorry prior to the suspect device being discovered.

“It has been a frightening and very disruptive experience for residents and not something expected or welcome in Loughgiel.”

Reports that Irish sovereign airspace was used to facilitate the transport of weapons to the Israeli military are deeply concerning.

The Irish people deserve answers and Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the Greens must immediately clarify what happened - @mattcarthy

Tackling the housing crisis will be Sinn Féin’s top priority in government. It's unacceptable that even those over 50 are struggling to rent or own a home.
Our housing plan will bring home ownership back into reach & make rents affordable for workers and families across Ireland
