ARCHBISHOP EAMES CONDEMNS ATTACKS ON ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCHES

I have been horrified and disgusted to learn of the attacks on eight Roman Catholic churches across Northern Ireland during the night. I utterly condemn these wanton sectarian attacks and, on behalf of the Church of Ireland, offer my sympathy to Archbishop Brady, the clergy and people of the parishes concerned. I urge all within the Protestant community to disown and condemn these clear attempts to heighten further the tension of these days.
