Sinn Fein chief Martin McGuinness condemns those who paint bombed his home last night

POLICE are investigating a dissident repubilcan paint bomb attack on the Derry home of Sinn Fein chief Martin McGuinness last night.

The deputy first minister blamed “people intent on dragging society back to the past” for the attack.

However, he said those behind the paint bombing would not deflect him from his efforts to “build a peaceful and prosperous future.”

Said Mr McGuinness today: “This was an attack not just on me but on my family too, including my grandchildren who were in the house at the time.

“I would like to thank my neighbours for all their help and assistance in the aftermath of the attack.

“This attack on my family follows an arson attack on the car of a Sinn Féin member in Derry last week and on Sinn Féin election billboards and posters in the city.

“The people behind these attacks have nothing to offer the community and they are intent on dragging society back to the past.

“Neither I or the people I represent will allow them to do that.

“I will not be deflected from my work as a Sinn Féin representative and as Deputy First Minister of building a peaceful and prosperous future for all our people and creating a society built upon equality and inclusion.”
