“I am deeply saddened to hear that the prison officer attacked by cowards in East Belfast has died. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones,” he said.

“I am disgusted that terrorists have taken the life of an innocent man who was making a positive contribution to our society; unlike those who planted the bomb,” he added.
