Police are currently at the home of East Belfast GAA at Henry Jones Playing Fields on Church Road in Castlereagh after a suspicious object was found.
 
“I'm absolutely appalled at those behind this alert, they have no regard for anyone in the community, nor do they represent the people of East Belfast,” said the East Belfast MLA.
 
“East Belfast GAA has garnered immense praise from our community, and rightly so. Their efforts to unite people through sports, fostering a better future in East Belfast, so everyone can live, work and play together in peace, is something to be celebrated and promoted.
 
“Yet the club has received a never-ending slew of threats and security alerts. Those behind security alerts like this are not interested in anything positive; instead, they are focused on creating division and destruction. They are unwanted in East Belfast or anywhere else, and I would urge anyone with information on this alert to contact police immediately.”
