Ulster Unionist MLA Sandra Overend has accused those behind the attack on Salterstown Orange Hall in Ballyronan of a hate crime.
The Mid Ulster MLA said:
“This was a despicable attack not only on the Orange Hall but the entire rural minority community in the area. It was heart-breaking to visit and see the damage to the Hall and the real distress it has caused to local members.
“The people responsible will not succeed however as community relations are especially strong in the area and this has been demonstrated by the palpable anger felt locally at this attack.
“This hate crime may have damaged and destroyed band equipment and irreplaceable lodge memorabilia, yet it will not defeat the determination of the local people from rebuilding and coming back even stronger from it.
“I would urge anyone with any information to pass this information to the PSNI.”
