Weekend violence in Belfast - Statement by Most Revd Dr Robin Eames, Archbishop of Armagh
'I share the deep concern of so many at the turmoil erupting within the Protestant and loyalist community at this time.
'Questions of great importance are being raised, but there is no possible excuse for the attacks on the police, who once again have found themselves in a virtually impossible situation.
'The effort of clergy and others on the ground to defuse the tensions must be recognised and I appeal for calm throughout our community at this time.'
