Birnie comments on fire at South Belfast Print Works
Ulster Unionist South Belfast assembly candidate Esmond Birnie has said:
“The fire service deserves praise for containing the blaze which started at a prints works on University Road/Ormeau Avenue in the heart of a densely populated residential area.
“The damage which has been done will represent a tragic loss from the point of view of at least one small business in this inner city area.
“Since there are early indications this fire was started deliberately I would ask everyone to help the police in their inquiries.
“This part of Belfast has suffered from far too much anti-social behaviour but this is a very extreme example of such.”
