McGuinness condemns ‘unacceptable’ violence after parade

VIOLENCE following the annual Apprentice Boys parade in Derry was unacceptable and sectarian, according to the North’s Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness.

Gangs who hijacked vehicles and attacked police in nationalist areas also pulled a mother and her daughter from their car during the disturbances.

Petrol bombs were thrown at officers, and at the Apprentice Boys Memorial Hall in Derry, while police were also targeted with a pipe bomb in the hours after the march took place.
