Mrs Kelly said, "Attacks on Orange Halls are wrong. No-one has the right to vandalise or destroy property in this way. Over the last number of weeks we have seen attacks on Catholic Churches and Orange Halls across the north and they must stop now.

"Both communities have had enough of the few thugs on both sides who are causing this destruction. Community and political leaders of both traditions must show their influence and denounce such attacks," Ms Kelly added.
