Outrage over arson attack at graveyard

- BY CHRIS SHERRARD

Milltown Cemetery PARENTS have been urged to intervene after the gates of a graveyard were set on fire.

Local youths have been blamed for Friday’s incident at Milltown Cemetery in West Belfast.

Sinn Fein MP Paul Maskey said traffic cones and a wheelie bin had been placed behind the gates and set alight.

He added: “I’m calling on parents to stop kids from hanging about the park and graveyard at night.

“I’m sure those responsibl­e have relatives in Milltown like many of us.

“This is disgusting behaviour and I will be meeting with agencies to try and get a resolution to this problem.”
