The Irish Congress of Trade Unions is set to lead a rally outside Parliament Buildings in opposition to the rioting seen in Belfast on Saturday, Monday and Tuesday evenings following anti-immigration protests. A senior Police Service of Northern Ireland officer earlier this week said a paramilitary element is suspected of co-ordinating violence in Belfast.
On Wednesday, Secretary of State Hilary Benn condemned “racist violence” in Belfast in recent days and stressed that it “does not represent Northern Ireland”.
