Sinn Féin respond to anti catholic slogans daubed on Harryville Chapel
Sinn Féin MLA in North Antrim Philip McGuigan and Sinn Féin councillor for
Ballymena
Monica Digney have condemned the sectarian graffiti daubed on
Harryville
chapel late last night.
Mr McGuigan said:
"This is the
latest in an ongoing campaign against this chapel and the
community
that uses it. It is loyalists demonstrating that Catholics are
unwelcome
to attend their own church in that part Ballymena. This kind of
sectarianism
and intimidation is designed to ensure the Catholics are
expected to
live as second class citizens in their own town.
"This
sectarianism has been allowed to continue against the backdrop of
silence
from the DUP controlled Ballymena Council." ENDS
