- Poppy wreaths destroyed
- Attacks on Narrow Water memorial never stop
- PSNI need help to catch the criminals
Ulster Unionist Councillor David Taylor and Harold McKee, the Ulster Unionist Party`s Westminster candidate for South Down, have expressed their disgust at the desecration of poppy wreaths placed at Narrow Water, Warrenpoint.
Councillor Taylor said:
"I am disgusted that poppy wreaths placed at Narrow Water, Warrenpoint have been desecrated once again.
“These attacks never stop. It is just endless. The people that commit these crimes are full of hate. Given the events of this week when we have seen terrorists bring death and destruction to the people of Manchester, it is appalling that there are still people in Northern Ireland who have learnt nothing from our past and are so full of hatred that they want to destroy memorials to the victims of terrorism from Northern Ireland`s Troubles.”
Harold McKee, Ulster Unionist Westminster candidate for South Down, said:
"This is a completely sickening attack and it only serves to compound the pain of the families of the service personnel who lost their lives at Narrow Water.
"All right thinking people should condemn this hate crime and I would appeal to anyone with information on this incident to report it to the PSNI immediately. The police need help to bring the criminals responsible before the courts."
