MP Paul Maskey said that an object left outside Connolly House on the Andersontown Road caused “nothing but disruption to the entire community”
Sinn Fein has hit out after a ‘hoax device’ was left outside Connolly House in West Belfast on Sunday night.
MP Paul Maskey said that an object left outside the building on the Andersontown Road caused “nothing but disruption to the entire community”.
He said: “Connolly House has and continues to provide a service to the local community and these threats and attacks will not deter Sinn Féin from continuing that service.
“The constituency service provided by Connolly House is used by a large percentage of the local population who have firmly rejected the type of people behind this hoax device.
“I would call on anyone involved in these attacks to listen to the people and desist from this type of activity that only disrupts local communities.”
Police and ATO attended the scene. ATO examined an object and declared it a hoax.
Inspector Roy Burnside asked anyone who has any information about this incident to contact police on the non-emergency number 101.
Or, if someone would prefer to provide information without giving their details they can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers and speak to them anonymously on 0800 555 111.
