Statement by TUV East Antrim spokesperson Councillor Matthew Warwick:
“When news started to come through last night about the devastating fire at Greenisland Church of Ireland there was a palpable sense of shock.
“To now hear that it is being treated as arson is quite simply appalling.
“My thoughts and prayers are with those impacted by the fire and I will be pressing the PSNI to do all they can to get to the bottom of what appears to have been a dastardly attack.”
