Ballymoney DUP Councillor, John Finlay, has condemned an act of Republican aggression in Rasharkin on Sunday after Republicans held a bonfire in ithe village of Rasharkin.
At the bonfire Union flags were burnt and bins from local shops were set alight and used to block the road. He accused the mob of attacking local businesses in the village.
Speaking today, John Finlay said, “I totally condemn any attempt by Republicans in Rasharkin to raise tensions. This is a clear example of an act of Republican aggression in the village.
At the bonfire they burnt Union flags in addition to household waste. They also used bins owned by local businesses to burn and block the main road in the village.
This represents an attack on the local community as a whole, nevermind the Protestant Community represented in the burning of Union flags on the bonfire.
