An attack on Newtownbutler Orange Hall in Co. Fermanagh was
disrupted in the early hours of this morning.
Wire grills were pulled off two windows of toughened glass,
which were then broken. A third window was being damaged when
local people heard the noise just before 1.00am. Paint was
also thrown against the front wall of the building.
Co. Fermanagh Grand Master Tom Elliott said it was very deliberate
and well organised attack on the hall.
"The people responsible were clearly intent on causing
a lot of damage and who knows what would have happened if
they had not been disturbed. I have condemned all attacks
on property in the area and I would now like the people of
Newtownbutler, and their elected representatives, to stand
up and make it clear that they are opposed to this latest
attack. Anyone who has any information should contact the
police immediately."
