Statement by the Rt Revd Harold Miller, Bishop of Down & Dromore, condemning Belfast violence
I
totally condemn the violence which took place in Belfast last night.
There is no basis on which it can be justified.
All are agreed on the
right to peaceful protest, but our community now needs a period of
restraint while we redouble our efforts to build a shared future.
We
must not create any more situations which will result in predictable
conflict.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the members of the PSNI who
find themselves dealing with these situations and particularly with
those who have been injured.
