UUP assemblyman hits out at Ahoghill attacks
Ulster Unionist North Antrim Assemblyman Reverend Robert Coulter has said the intimidation of catholic families in the Ahoghill area near Ballymena and ongoing attacks on a Harryville Church must stop immediately.
"There is no justification whatsoever for sectarian attacks," declared Rev. Coulter. "People have a right to live in their homes, safe in the knowledge that they are secure and free from intimidation by mindless thugs."
Rev. Coulter also strongly condemned a late night paint bomb attack on a Catholic Church in Harryville, Ballymena.
"Every person living in this country has the right to worship. There is nothing more sacred than expressing ones religious beliefs. I would urge those responsible to stop these attacks immediately and call on the police to ensure that the area is regularly patrolled," he said.
