Sinn Féin Newry Councillor Charlie Casey condemned the paint bomb attack. “This is thuggish behaviour and has absolutely no place in the society we are trying to build here,” he said.

“There can be no excuse for these kinds of attacks and I’m sure the entire community will stand behind me on that.

He added, “I’d urge anyone who has any information on this attack to contact the PSNI as soon as possible.”
