A council has passed a motion condemning a “sinister” anti-Irish banner left outside a school despite a DUP councillor saying those responsible have “every right to their opinion”.
The poster, put up outside Cumran Primary School in Clough, Co Down last week, read: “Keep Irish out of our kids classrooms. St Malachy’s not welcome at CPS. Signed, parents!”. The PSNI has said they are treating the incident as a sectarian hate crime.
During an emergency motion at Newry, Mourne and Down District Council (NMDDC) on Monday evening Slieve Croob Sinn Fein councillor Jim Brennan faced some unionist opposition to his motion.
