Ardoyne residents unite against anti-social behaviour

Ardoyne residents held a public rally in opposition to a gang they say are terrorising the area.
The vigil was held in Havana Walk last Friday evening as a community response against the ongoing antisocial behaviour in the area.
The previous Sunday, 15-year old school boy Ciaran Murphy was badly beaten up by the gang close to his Havana Court home.
After the rally, the residents gathered in Ardoyne GAA club to discuss the problem.
A public meeting for residents across the district will be held next Wednesday night (November 17) in Holy Cross Boys’ School.
Sinn Féin councillor for the area Gerard McCabe urged local people to come along to the meeting.
"I was very happy with how the meeting on Friday went and am glad everyone got to have an input and talk about what is going on," said Gerard.
"I am now urging people to come along to this larger public meeting to try and bring an end to antisocial behaviour throughout the district.
"It is a small antisocial element who are doing this and they are very much in the minority.”
