MLA condemns incident as Minister Coveney forced to flee Belfast event



Fermanagh/South Tyrone MLA, Jemma Dolan, has ‘condemned’ those behind a bomb scare in North Belfast where Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney had to be moved to a secure location.

 

A hijacked van was abandoned outside the venue of a peace building event he was attending.

 

A spokesperson says the Minister and his team are safe.

 

Minister Coveney says he’s saddened and frustrated someone has been attacked and victimised in this way and thanked the PSNI.
