Northern Ireland continues to see sectarian attacks: Church leaders call for end to violence
Sectarian attacks in Northern Ireland were showing no sign of abating by the end of August, despite a recent declaration by the Irish Republican Army that it will lay down its arms, according to both Catholic and Protestant communities reporting attacks.
The leader of the (Anglican) Church of Ireland, Archbishop Robin Eames, said in a statement August 29 that there was “no justification or excuse” for the daily attacks.
