West Belfast MLA Gerry Carroll has said he will “not be deterred nor bullied by a pathetic minority” after graffiti appeared in his constituency with his name painted alongside a crosshair symbol.
The graffiti was scrawled on a fence in the Andersonstown area overnight between Saturday and Sunday, and stated ‘f*** Gerry Carrol’ alongside the initials ‘R.A.A’.
The People Before Profit MLA linked the graffiti to a “fringe fascist group” in the area.
“These threats are a sign of desperation. The far-right are utterly isolated in west Belfast and only dare emerge in the dead of night,” Mr Carroll said.
