Eirigi: ‘Stone throwing youths could lead to serious accident’

éirígí’s Newry representative Stephen Murney has called for youths throwing stones at cars in the Carnagat area to stop before someone is seriously injured. Stephen was speaking after a motorist contacted the party after his car was damaged last Monday night.

Speaking to Newry Times Stephen said “We were contacted on Monday night after a car was hit with stones in the Carnagat area. This motorist’s car was damaged as a result and this could have easily led to a serious accident and injuries. We have also been told that young people are engaging in this type of behaviour on a regular basis and target taxis and learner drivers in this area.”

Murney added, “éirígí ask these youths to stop this behaviour immediately before someone is seriously injured or worse.”
