Councillor Ashe was the first to sign and has urged that as many people as possible follow his example.

He commented: “When the people of Mid and East Antrim Borough sign the Books of Condolence that means we will then be able to offer their heartfelt sympathies to those bereaved and injured due to the terrorist attacks in Paris on Friday November 13.

“I would urge people to sign the Books of Condolence for those who lost their lives or were injured in the Paris attacks.”
