It is miserable that there is as yet a little gathering inside our general public who are resolved to inflicting damage and hauling Northern Ireland back to the past, he added. Nobody believes that this and we will proceed should seek after anybody included and get them under the watchful eye of the courts request to make our networks more secure.
