Priest hopes for silver lining after house attack

A Co. Fermanagh priest who has spoken forcefully against Brexit and whose house was attacked on Remembrance Sunday has said he hopes the attack will encourage people to work for peace.

Fr Joseph McVeigh told Enniskillen parishioners that while the house had been attacked in the past, he “thought that those days were over”.

Lamenting how some “have not yet moved on, who really do not want peace or equality”, he said, “I hope that goodwill come out of it – that it will make those in our community who want a better future more determined to work for peace and justice.”
