Orange Hall Attacks Condemned
The Sinn Fein MP for Mid-Ulster Martin McGuinness has said that those who carried out attacks on four Orange Halls in Co Tyrone in recent days "were motivated solely by sectarian hatred".
The Stormont Deputy First Minister said: "Numerous attacks on churches, Orange Halls and GAA clubs have been rightly condemned by all political parties.
Over the weekend four Orange Halls in Tyrone were attacked. These attacks are wrong and they are unacceptable.
"Those responsible are motivated solely be sectarian hatred and by a desire to see community tensions increased," he said, noting "engaging in dialogue with each other and promoting a united front against these hate crimes" offers a solution.
