The riots hours after two 14-year-old boys appeared in court charged with attempted rape

Speaking on BBC’s The Nolan Show, he added that the violence that followed “has to be condemned” and called for peace on the streets.

North Antrim MP Mr Allister said he had spoken to the family of the girl who was the victim of the alleged sexual assault and they did not want to see violent scenes.

He said: “Sadly the narrative has been diverted, and it has been diverted by those who wrongly and foolishly involved in violence and made the story something that what it otherwise should be.

“My message is the violence should stop. The concerns are there, I am certainly aware of them, I hear them and there needs now to be a period of calm and justice needs to take its course.”
