Community united against attacks says Sinn Féin


Speaking today after the latest in a series of attacks on community workers in North Belfast Sinn Fein local MLA Gerry Kelly said:

“Firstly let me extend a message of solidarity from the community of North Belfast to Mary Kelly after this latest bomb attack on her home. This is one in a series of attacks on the homes of community leaders in this constituency and we are calling for the PSNI to act promptly to bring the culprits before the courts,” said Kelly.

"This attack was not just dangerous to Mary and her family but disrupted neighbours and put them out of their homes overnight. I wish to thank those who opened the local community centre to provide refuge during this incident.

"The leadership shown on the ground by community workers like Mary is hugely valued across the area. The previous attack resulted in a strong and united show of support by all political representatives and activists. These attacks have to be faced down and only serve to unify us all in that approach."
