The fact that an Orange hall in Co Tyrone has been attacked twice in the space of two days is absolutely disgraceful.
In both attacks on Strawletterdallon Orange hall near Newtownstewart, windows were smashed and a door damaged.
Police are treating the vandalism as a sectarian hate crime and there can be no possible excuse for anyone engaging in such destructive and criminal behaviour.
Such incidents serve only to heighten mistrust and division which is deeply regrettable.
It is important the entire community stands firm against all sectarian attacks and we must hope that anyone with information comes forward to the police.
