BBC Democracy Live - MLAs condemn attempted mortar attack in New Barnsley 19 March 2013 Last updated at 14:43 Help The justice minister said those behind an attempted mortar attack on New Barnsley police station in west Belfast "speak for nobody who has any understanding for where this society is heading," on 19 March 2013. David Ford was speaking on a matter of the day brought by the SDLP's Conall McDevitt condemning the incident on Friday 15 March in which a viable mortar bomb was found. The device was defused by an army bomb disposal unit. Mr McDevitt said those who had placed the mortar launcher should "come out of the shadows and allow themselves to be challenged." He said the group had styled themselves Oglaigh na hEireann and that the only organisation with the right to that name was the defence forces of the Irish state. Ulster Unionist Ross Hussey said the people who had placed the device "have no mandate," and noted that there was a trail that led back from this group to the Provisional IRA. Jonathan Bell of the DUP spoke of "a mortar bomb whose only purpose is murder" and that these weapons were "notoriously inaccurate" putting the lives of men, women and children at risk. Sinn Fein's Pat Sheehan had a message for the group behind the incident: "Pack up, go home, go away. You're not wanted," he said. TUV leader Jim Allister said "terrorism of all shapes and all types is always wrong." Following the matter of the day, Joe Byrne of the SDLP presented a public petition on the Strabane Campaign for Jobs.
