I am particularly concerned at the systematic and ongoing violence of loyalist paramilitaries. The PSNI has certified that the majority of the serious violence, including murder, has been coming from that quarter. The serious injury of two young teenagers, who were struck by a pipe bomb in east Belfast last night, was a shocking and barbaric act. This litany of crime and thuggery has to be brought to a complete and rapid end and I do not doubt that the Chief Constable, Hugh Orde, is determined to stamp down on such nakedly sectarian attacks. I particularly welcome yesterday's find of weapons in the Rathcoole area of north Belfast and I wish to reiterate the Government's strong support for the PSNI in all its efforts to bring an end to violent sectarianism. Continuing and effective policing reform is the best guarantee that the rule of law will prevail and that those responsible are made accountable for their criminal activities. Vulnerable communities are entitled to the protection of effective and consistent policing. Equally, the PSNI, which undertakes that difficult task, is entitled to expect the support of the community it wishes to serve.
