Sinn Féin MLA Pádraig Delargy has urged anyone with information on the breaking of windows at Cultúrlann Uí Chanáin to bring it forward to the police.

The Foyle MLA said: “The community is shocked and appalled to learn that Cultúrlann Uí Chanáin on Great James Street has been damaged by vandals overnight.

“Staff turned up for work this morning to find that windows on the building had been smashed.

“This centre is a pillar of our city that is used by everyone, it is a hotbed of local music, talent and culture and a school where children and adults of all ages go to learn Irish.

“There is no place for this reckless destruction. I will be in touch with the PSNI this morning and I would urge anyone with information to bring it forward immediately.”
