Statement from the Archbishop of Armagh on Salterstown Orange Hall arson attack

The Most Revd Dr Richard Clarke, Archbishop of Armagh, said:

‘Last night’s arson attack on Salterstown Orange Hall was a disgraceful act, causing great hurt to members of the local lodge and their families and neighbours.  My thoughts and prayers are with them at this difficult time.  Every effort should be made to promote goodwill and respect for one another’s traditions in Northern Ireland.  I would also appeal for anyone with information about the attack to bring it forward to the PSNI for investigation.’
