DLA threat

A group calling itself the Dungannon Loyalist Association has threatened Catholic business people in Tyrone. A leaflet campaign in Dungannon warned that money spent in Catholic shops could be buying arms for the IRA. It also claimed that 75% of Catholics, including the business community, contribute to the IRA.

The leaflet states that ``this precious country of ours'' is slipping further in the ``direction of Dublin'' and it is time to ``make a stand''.

Sinn Féin Councillor Francie Molloy rubbished the leaflet as the latest attempt by loyalists to whip up anti-Catholic hysteria.
