Write a commentMP Mickey Brady has condemned an attack on a memorial to William Clarke in South Armagh last weekend and asked that the dead on all sides be allowed to rest in peace.
The memorial to William Clarke outside Mullaghbawn was smashed at the weekend and the MP in a statement said that "Nothing is achieved by attacking memorials,
"A number of republican monuments were attacked in Newry in the run up to the 12th of July and I would say the same thing to the people who carried out this attack as I did to the people who attacked the Newry monuments; your actions are deplorable and they serve only to stir up hurt and hate.
"I would urge anyone considering such actions to remember that all our dead, on all sides, left family and friends behind. What purpose can their possibly be in taunting already grieving families?
"Let the dead rest in peace, let their families live in peace and find a more constructive use for your energy."
