UUP MLA Condemns Arson Attack on Ballymena School
North Antrim MLA UUP Rev Dr Robert Coulter has strongly condemned an arson attack on a Ballymena school.
A mobile classroom at St Louis Primary School was damaged yesterday afternoon. In a separate incident, an arson attack on a school classroom on the outskirts of north Belfast early on Sunday caused thousands of pounds of damage.
In a statement the UUP MLA said:
“I condemn these attacks in the strongest possible way. This sort of reckless and senseless behaviour has no place in our society. An attack on a school is an attack on the whole community.
“It’s at this time of year that we see an increase in these sort of attacks and I hope that bored teenagers seek other forms of entertain rather than endangering lives and property. These mindless yobs need to found and met with the full force of the law. I would urge anyone with any information to contact the police immediately”.
