Sinn Féin Councillor Tierna Cunningham today described the early morning attempt to burn classrooms at St Mary's Star of the Sea Primary School on the Shore Road as a "sickening sectarian attack".
"This is the second time the school has been targeted by arsonists in a month," she said.
"It is a sickening sectarian attack on a place which should be a safe haven for children.
"The staff of St Mary's has worked hard to give local children the best possible start to life through a good education and it beggars belief that anyone could target a school to vent their hatred.
"The recent spate of attacks on schools is robbing all our children of the best opportunities that education can provide as much-needed resources are being diverted to deal with this wanton destruction.
"These attacks should stop now and I appeal to anyone who has any information on those behind the attacks to contact the police."
