Neeson condemns Larne attack

Alliance Chief Whip, Alderman Sean Neeson, has condemned this mornings’ petrol bomb attack in Larne as a blatantly sectarian act of attempted murder.

Mr Sean Neeson said:

“I am deeply concerned at the growing regularity of sectarian attacks in Larne and other parts of East Antrim.

“It is clear that there are groups of people who are hell-bent on creating sectarian division, especially as we near a possible political settlement.

“While the police have increased resources on the ground throughout East Antrim, these cowardly acts can only be brought to an end when the people responsible are brought to justice.”
