Mr Quinn told the TIMES: “I, like hundreds of others who visited Coalisland Chapel over the weekend for Mass and Confession, were angered to see that the church had been a victim of vandalism.

“People in Coalisland Parish take great pride in the church and the significant repair work funded by local parishioners which is ongoing.”

Continuing, Mr Quinn said: “The people who carried out this attack need to wise up and realise that this just isn’t an attack on a building but on the community who use this church. This type of thing is not wanted by the people of Coalisland and won’t be tolerated by the people of Coalisland.”
