Hazzard slams ‘intimidatory’ sign posted outside a local school
Sinn Féin MP Chris Hazzard has slammed those responsible for placing a ‘racist and intimidatory’ sign outside a school in near Castlewellan.
The South Down MP said: “It’s totally disgraceful that a sign attacking children learning the Irish language has been placed outside a local primary school.
“There is no place in our society for racist threats and this sign is a clear attempt to intimidate school children.
“It is particularly sinister and worrying that this sign has named a local school. Those responsible should stop now.
“I would urge anyone with information on this sign to bring it forward to the police.”
