Castlerock: Condemnation after ‘threats’ to Irish language class

A spokesperson for the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) confirmed on Thursday that information was received on Monday 30 September, “in relation to threats made to the Peter Thompson Hall in Castlerock, where a beginners’ Irish conversation class was scheduled to take place”.

“Enquiries are ongoing at this time to ascertain the circumstances,” they said.

BBC News NI has also approached the council for comment, but they said they would not be making any comment on the matter.

In a statement, Ms Hunter said: “Attacks of this nature on the Irish language are appalling and have no place in our society.

“I call on the Executive and the PSNI to take every action possible to hold those responsible to account, and to work to ensure that everyone in our society, regardless of religion or where they reside, have the opportunity to learn Irish or whatever language they choose free from the threat of violence or intimidation.”
