Following the desecration of wreaths, memorial crosses and floral tributes yet again at the Narrow Water memorial to those soldiers murdered in 1979, Ulster Unionist Councillor David Taylor said:

“Once again those driven by hate have taken the opportunity to cause further hurt and trauma to the loved ones of the brave soldiers who were murdered at Narrow Water in 1979.

“The constant targeting of this memorial site should stop. Those responsible are of a sick mentality. The families have already endured more pain than most will ever experience in their lives through the loss of their loved ones. Enough is enough.”
