    Statement from the Executive on disorder executiveoffice-ni.gov.uk/news/statement…
    Text: As Executive Ministers, we collectively and unequivocally condemn the disorder, violence and intimidation we witnessed in our communities last night.
Events on the streets here caused significant harm to communities, spread fear and risked innocent lives. No community benefits from these actions.
The incident in north Belfast on Monday was deeply shocking. While we understand the strength of feeling about what happened, it is now subject to legal proceedings, and justice must be allowed to run its course.

    Text: Everyone has the right to protest peacefully. What we witnessed last night went far beyond that. Sadly, there are those intent on wreaking destruction on the very communities they claim they are trying to protect. They are weaponising the genuine hurt, concern and anger that people are feeling for their own misguided purposes.

Racism, intimidation and violence are wrong wherever they occur. There can be no justification for attacking homes, burning family cars, damaging businesses, and damaging our public transport and our roads. It furthers no cause and benefits no one.

    Text: The eyes of the world are watching us this week and the actions we take, as individuals and  as a society, will shape how we are viewed and how our communities move forward.

Our thoughts are with all those who have been directly affected by the violence and disorder of recent days. We also commend the professionalism, bravery and dedication of our police and emergency services in responding to the disorder last night to protect the public and keep people safe. Our minority ethnic communities are a valued part of our society, many of whom are vital to our health and public services and our economy.

Text: 3/4
    Text: As an Executive, we remain united in our commitment to building a safe, prosperous and welcoming Northern Ireland for all.

We also continue to appeal for calm and urge everyone to reject violence, reject division and allow the rule of law to prevail.
