SDLP Lisburn North Councillor Pat Catney has condemned racist graffiti which has appeared targeting the city’s Muslim residents.
It was daubed in the Chapel Hill area.
Councillor Catney said:
“This disgraceful incitement has no place in Lisburn. So many people from across all faiths and backgrounds are working hard to lift this city up and bring everyone together, and this goes completely against all of that work.
“Anyone inciting violence like this is to condemned. I have already contacted the PSNI in relation to the chilling appearance of this hateful message and I am working with council officials to get it removed.
“It is up to all of us to come together to reject division and bigotry in whatever form it takes.”
