Lurgan Barracks blast was wrong

Commenting after a blast bomb incident at the rear of the PSNI barracks in Lurgan on Monday night, Sinn Féin Assembly member for the area, John O'Dowd, said: "Whoever was responsible for this incident last night is clearly opposed to the Peace Process and opposed to the Good Friday Agreement.

"If this was one of the small republican micro-groups, they operate with little or no support and without any strategy for achieving a united Ireland.

"These attacks are wrong and should stop. It is incumbent on all of us in political leadership to make it clear that politics can work and that politics can deliver change. This task would of course become all the easier if political unionism stopped posturing and began working with the rest of us on the basis of equality."
