Paint bomb attack on McGuinness home
The home of deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness has been attacked with paint bombs.
The attack happened sometime on Sunday night, the Sinn Féin MLA said.
He said his grandchildren were in the house at the time.
Mr McGuinness said he would not allow those behind the attack to deflect him from his work.
He said: “This was an attack not just on me but on my family too.
“I would like to thank my neighbours for all their help and assistance in the aftermath of the attack.
The people who attacked my family home last night represent the past.My work for Peace,Reconciliation & a better future will continue.

“This attack on my family follows an arson attack on the car of a Sinn Féin member in Derry last week and on Sinn Féin election billboards and posters in the city.
“The people behind these attacks have nothing to offer the community and they are intent on dragging society back to the past.
“Neither I or the people I represent will allow them to do that.”
