Statement by TUV Court councillor Jolene Bunting:
“While normal people were preparing for Christmas with friends and family Republicans chose the occasion to attack our peaceful protest camp at Twaddell. Banners were ripped and a person was arrested at the scene.
“An attack like this – on the very mouth of Christmas – will further damage community relations in the area.
“I am glad no one was injured on this occasion and hope that those responsible will be successfully prosecuted in the courts.”
