Already the incident – at 4am today – is being condemned right across society and communities in Donegal.

The Orange Order’s Grand Secretary Drew Nelson said local protestant people were beginning to feel beseiged.
“We are very disturbed at what seems to be an emerging pattern.
“There is a small Protestant minority community in Donegal and they are beginning to feel a bit besieged,” he told the BBC.
Another local Orange lodge member told us a short time ago: “There is no reason for this.
“This is the second Orange Hall to be hit in weeks and it is causing a great deal of anger across the community.”
