Ballymoney Councillor John Finlay has condemned an attack on Dunloy Orange Hall on Friday night.
Anti-Orange and anti-Protestant slogans were painted over the hall.
Cllr Finlay has called on Sinn Fein to do more to stop these sectarian attacks and for the PSNI to step up patrols in the area.
Speaking today Cllr Finlay said:
"I totally condemn this most recent attack on Dunloy Orange Hall. The Orange Hall has been the subject of a campaign against anything Protestant that is left in the village by Republicans'.
I call on Sinn Fein to do more to stop these sectarian attacks and to offer leadership to their community. It is no coincidence that this attack occurred on the same night as the band parade in Rasharkin. Republicans' say that their ideology isn't sectarian; they have yet to prove it.
I also call on the PSNI to step up patrols in Dunloy to ensure that such incidents' don't happen again.
I call on anyone with information to bring it forward to the Police." Councillor Finlay added.
