Graffiti settari contro Orange Hall nella Contea di Tyrone

Orange Hall in Co Tyrone vandalised

Sectarian graffiti has been sprayed on an Orange Hall in Co Tyrone.

Orange OrderSecurity lights and drain pipes were also broken at Ballymacall Hall, which sits between Pomeroy and Dungannon.

A statement from the PSNI said: “Sometime between 10.30pm on Thursday and 11am on Saturday, sectarian graffiti was sprayed on the hall and gutter pipes were damaged.”

The Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland has condemned the attack.

A spokesperson said: “We know there are people who do not want any Orange presence in the area and we would ask local community leaders to condemn this attack without reservation.”

“Fortunately damage was relatively minor on this occasion, but it is particularly worrying as the Twelfth is being held in Pomeroy this year.”

The Orange Order says Ballymacall Hall was built in 1985 and has been the target of a number of attacks, including two arson attacks.

Officers have appeal for anyone with information to come forward.
