In a statement the group said: “We offer our support to all the members of the Church and view this attack, as an attack on the entire community of our City.

“We condemn this act of vandalism in the strongest possible terms and we wish to convey our heartfelt good wishes and solidarity to the congregation of Ballyarnett Presbyterian Church. We stand alongside all those who live in the area as they condemn the irresponsible vandals who carried out this attack against members of our community.”

The statement continued: “Any attack against any part of the city and region or against any person or people is an attack against the interests of everyone and against the future wellbeing of this City and all its people.
