Sinn Féin MLA Phil Flanagan today condemned those behind the attack.

“This is a despicable act and is not representative of the local community. Those behind these actions are not acting out of loyalty to the Quinn family and are not furthering any cause.”

“The only result of such activity will be employment opportunities being impacted upon and that is a matter of grave concern for the people of the local community.”
