I'll be running these briefs from Northern Ireland as I receive them from Daithi McKay while I continue the Oread Daily's time out until Sept. 1. After that I will simply include them in the regular Oread Daily. Daithí is the Sinn Féin councilor on Ballymoney Borough Council - Bann Valley elected in 2005.
North Antrim Sinn Féin MLA, Philip McGuigan, has said that nobody could sink any lower than to attack primary schools in the Ballymena area. His comments follow the multiple petrol-bombing of a Catholic Primary School in the Harryville area of the town.
Mr McGuigan said:
"This attack is just the latest episode of a concerted campaign against Catholics in the Ballymena area. It is just down the road from the most attacked chapel in the North and just a few miles away from Ahoghill where a Catholic Primary School and Chapel have also been targeted.
"The building was attacked with 4-5 petrol bombs and it seems like they were intent on burning down both the canteen and library.
"What took place this morning was another act of pure sectarianism against the Catholic community. Once again I would appeal to the DUP to use their leadership and undoubted influence over the unionist paramilitaries to bring these attacks to an end."
