PSNI need to tackle UDA criminality following Dervock security alerts – McGuigan

Sinn Féin MLA Philip McGuigan has condemned those responsible for three security alerts in the Dervock area and called on the PSNI to tackle ongoing UDA and loyalist criminality in the area. 

The North Antrim MLA said: 

“I condemn those responsible for three security alerts in the Dervock and DerryKeighan areas following the discovery of three devices this morning. 

“Families have had to be evacuated from their homes on a cold winter morning as a result of these security alerts. 

“Those responsible for these devices have nothing to offer and this is an attack on the entire community at a time when we should all be working together in the face of the public health crisis caused by COVID. 

“This is the latest in a series of incidents in recent days, including a shooting incident in Coleraine and other attacks which bear all the hallmarks of the involvement of loyalist criminal gangs. 

“It is time the PSNI took action to tackle the ongoing loyalist criminality of the UDA in the north Antrim and wider areas in order to keep the whole community safe.”

Teachers deserve a fair pay deal that reflects their incredible work and commitment to our young people.

@ChrisHazzardSF joined with a delegation of teachers from the North to hand in a letter to the British Prime Minister calling for an immediate pay deal for workers.

Education workers deserve fair pay & working conditions.

With one party’s boycott of the Executive ongoing, the British Govt must urgently bring forward a pay deal for workers here.

We need an Executive restored now, & all parties working together to support workers & services.

In any other walk of life the person presiding over such a colossal failure would be sacked. The Minister for Justice is clearly not the person to restore people's confidence in public safety and she should resign.
