Orange Hall Attacked In Belfast
The Alliance Party has condemned an attack at an Orange Hall in Belfast.
North Belfast Assembly candidate Nuala McAllister described the attack as "mindless sectarianism".
She was speaking after paint was thrown over the front of the building on Clifton Street over the weekend.
She said: "This was nothing more than a senseless attack, fuelled by sectarianism.
"Nothing can be gained by this. We need to tolerate and respect each other's culture and move away from these senseless acts if we are to ever live together as a united community.
"I would appeal to anyone with information on this attack to contact police."
Diggers And Lorry Stolen In Co Tyrone

Police are appealing for people who witnesses a flatbed lorry moving the diggers in the early hours of Monday morning to contact them.
UUP Highlights Serial Failures Of DUP and Sinn Fein
The Ulster Unionist Party Leader Mike Nesbitt has highlighted the serial failures of the DUP and Sinn Féin to make a success of their stewardship of the Office of the First Minister and deputy First Minister and has offered the Ulster Unionists as the change that is needed.
Mr Nesbitt said: "The experience of the last nine years has been one of frustration at the lack of decision making and delivery.
"Nowhere was this more apparent than at the centre of government in the Office of the First Minister and deputy First Minister.
"The DUP and Sinn Féin promised so much, but disappointed so many. A number of promised strategies made it as far as a consultation process, but precious few managed to be agreed and published.
"The Racial Equality Strategy, the Sexual Orientation Strategy, the Childcare Strategy and the Child Poverty Strategy are all examples of key policy areas where delay and indecision have been the order of the day.
"The message from the Ulster Unionist Party is very straightforward. This record of failure would not be tolerated in England, Scotland, Wales or the Republic of Ireland. This election offers the people of Northern Ireland choice. Do they want more of the same failure, or will they vote for change? The Ulster Unionist Party is renewed and refreshed and ready and eager to lead again."
