Concern at convicted rapist being housed in South Belfast hostel

Published: 8 September, 2009

South Belfast Sinn Féin MLA Alex Maskey has expressed his concern at the news that convicted rapist Michael Quinn is being housed in a South Belfast hostel.


Alex Maskey MLA said,

"I, like many people in South Belfast, am extremely concerned and angry that another serious sex offender has been housed in South Belfast. Michael Quinn committed an extremely brutal crime and has shown no remorse for his actions.


"Given the fact that a sex offender recently absconded from temporary accommodation in South Belfast there will be great concern at the ability of the authorities to monitor Michael Quinn given the large numbers of sex offenders currently being housed in South Belfast."
