Sinn Féin blames UDA for hospital workers threats

Sinn Féin is accusing loyalists of threatening hospital workers and attempting to raise sectarian tensions.

Last night, threats were issued against staff in two of Belfast’s largest hospitals in the name of the Catholic Reaction Force.

However, Sinn Féin says the organisation does not exist and the threat is the work of the UDA.

However, sources close to the UDA have denied their involvement, saying it is the work of a crank.
