SF Hits Out After Hoax Device Left Outside Connolly House

Sinn Féin has hit out at those who left a hoax device at its constituency office in west Belfast. The device was left outside Connolly House on the Andersonstown Road on Sunday night.

MP Paul Maskey said it had caused "nothing but disruption" to the entire community.

Mr Maskey said: "Connolly House has and continues to provide a service to the local community and these threats and attacks will not deter Sinn Féin from continuing that service.

"The constituency service provided by Connolly House is used by a large percentage of the local population who have firmly rejected the type of people behind this hoax device.

"I would call on anyone involved in these attacks to listen to the people and desist from this type of activity that only disrupts local communities."
