Hide AdA lodge member told the MAIL that paint was thrown at the front of the building and they were forced to spread sand to allow access on the Twelfth morning.
Condemning the incident, DUP Chairman of Magherafelt District Council Paul McLean said sadly there were those who could not stand other people’s right to express their culture.
“There is still an element within nationalism which is out to cause trouble and instil hatred,” he said.
