Apr 2021. Unrest in Northern Ireland Part 2

The Northern Ireland policing board said the attacks on officers were “truly shocking” while the Northern Ireland executive in a joint statement after an emergency debate described the events as “deplorable”. Arlene Foster, the Democratic Unionist party leader and first minister, condemned the firebombing of a moving bus and said the latest disturbances were an “embarrassment to society”. She tweeted: “This is not protest. This is vandalism and attempted murder. These actions do not represent unionism or loyalism.”
