Bishop of Derry & Raphoe condemns attack on Fountain Youth Club

The Church of Ireland Bishop of Derry and Raphoe has condemned last night's attack on the Fountain Youth Club, in Londonderry.

Bishop Good said " The Fountain Youth Club does much valued work in its local community. Those who lead it, as well as its members, are to be commended for the constructive role they play within the Fountain estate. This attack on a work that is for the good of the community is to be deplored."

Bishop Good continued, "The use of petrol bombs has the potential for serious damage to property. Much more seriously it endangers life. Every part of the community is committed to peace and safety for all and will stand against this attack."
