Anna Lo MLA: “It is a sad day for Northern Ireland as some people have decided that they can no longer live here due to the actions of a tiny minority. I can understand why they have chosen to leave but I am saddened that it has come to this.
“I was, however, encouraged by the support and solidarity shown by many here for the Romanian people, and I hope that this positive action can be seen as a true reflection of Northern Ireland.
“These tragic events should be a wake up call for the Stormont Executive to ensure there is a strong strategy in place to address prejudice and create a genuinely shared society.”
