Communities Minister Gordon Lyons condemns recent spike in incidents
More than 130 hate crimes have been reported to the PSNI over the last 12 months - with 22 being logged in the first week of August.The minister condemned recent attacks, and recent anti-immigration disorder, saying that there is " never any justification for violence and it should not be tolerated".
Speaking at a visit with Northern Ireland Housing Executive staff in Antrim on Thursday, August 15, the Minister said: “I want to pay tribute today to the courage and commitment of frontline housing staff in the light of a rising number of hate crime attacks. “I commend our housing teams including those in the Housing Executive, Housing Associations and Supported People and Homelessness providers, who continue to support tenants, including children and the most vulnerable in our society, to keep them safe from harm despite coming under threat themselves.”
“I would encourage anyone who has experienced any form of attack to come forward knowing that they will be supported by the Department’s agencies and those within criminal justice.”
