Ulster Unionist MLA Danny Kinahan has condemned the latest attack to take place on an Orange Hall in Glenavy.
The South Antrim representative said:
“I was shocked and angry to learn that an attempt was made to set fire to the Protestant Hall in Glenavy in the early hours of Monday morning.
This is the fourth time the Hall has been attacked this year and I will restate now what I said previously. As a local representative I know that the vast majority of the local community in Glenavy and throughout South Antrim wants nothing to do with such activities and simply wish to live in peace and harmony with all of their neighbours.
The only way we will build a shared future is by respecting each other’s culture and rejecting those who would seek to divide us and exploit the very tensions which they themselves are trying to create and heighten.
For the benefit of everyone I would appeal to anyone who saw any suspicious activity in the vicinity of the Hall in the early hours of Monday morning, or who can assist the Police in any way, to come forward immediately.”
