Minister Criticised over Larne Social Media Post

  • On Wednesday night, masked individuals vandalized Larne Leisure Centre in Co Antrim by breaking windows and igniting fires that spread inside, during ongoing unrest in Northern Ireland.
  • The leisure centre was being used as a temporary rest facility for people displaced from Ballymena due to earlier unrest, with families now safely relocated to other locations.
  • Communities Minister Gordon Lyons condemned the damage, stating neither he nor local DUP council members were consulted on the leisure centre’s emergency use until late Wednesday.
  • Matthew O’Toole, representing the opposition, stated he intends to report Minister Lyons to the standards commissioner and criticized the minister’s conduct as unacceptable, highlighting the serious implications for people’s safety.
  • Two teenage boys have been charged in relation to the disturbances, while police and firefighters worked to control the blaze, and the opposition vowed to explore further accountability measures.
