Newry & Mourne Fews area Councillor Daire Hughes has condemned the attack. The Sinn Fein Councillor commenting after he visited the scene said "This deliberate act of vandalism on the Friends Meeting House here in Derramore Woods is not only an attack on the Quakers and those who fellowship here at the Friends Meeting House but on the entire community. I share the anger of the local Community and hopefully those engaged in this mindless act will be apprehended".
