Police need more money and manpower to increase patrols around Orange Halls in North Antrim.

That's according to the constituency's MLA and Ulster Unionist leader Robin Swann.

Last weekend an Orange Hall on the Lislaban Road in Cloughmills was hit with two paint bombs.

Mr Swann, a member of the Loyal Orders, also says the community should not 'rise to the bait '.

He adds anyone with information about the Cloughmills attack should immediately give it to the police

so these 'vandals' can be charged.
