TWO GAA premises in Co Tyrone have been damaged by fire in what police think may be revenge attacks for attacks on Orange halls in the county.
The attacks took place on GAA clubhouses near Cookstown and outside Dungannon. They follow an arson attack earlier this month on an Orange hall in the Coagh area of Tyrone.
Northern arts, culture and leisure minister Gregory Campbell condemned the attacks "unequivocally and without reservation".
"If the morons who seem to have a resentment and bitterness in them against either Orange halls or GAA halls see the consequence of their attacks mean there will be bigger and better premises built instead, maybe that will have an impact," he said.
"There will be a response by the community and those who attack the hall for whatever mischievous reason will see that it has backfired - maybe that will have an impact because there is no point in attacks that rebound on each community as a result of the previous one."
Sinn Féin assembly member Barry McElduff said: "I would call on anyone engaged in such activities to desist. "It's helpful that the Orange Order has spoken in such clear terms about attacks on GAA halls."
