Ulster Unionist Party Deputy Leader Danny Kennedy has strongly condemned the attacks. He said: "I have spoken to the local lodge officials regarding the incident and to the police who are now investigating the attacks. This sort of sectarian behaviour must be utterly condemned and those responsible have no place in Northern Ireland society."
