A politican from county Derry has hit out at a poster campaign which calls for the elimination of the GAA. East Derry SDLP local assembly member John Dallat slammed a loyalist poster denoting the number 5711 which was placed on the door of his constituency office in Kilrea, county Derry. Decoded, the numbers stand for 'eliminate GAA' with each number representing a letter of the alphabet. The poster proclaims 'Stamping out Irish GAA Fascism in Ulster'. Mr. Dallat says supporters of the LVF may have been responsible for the posters. "The appearance of the latest hate material comes as a disappointment given that we have just been led to believe that loyalist paramilitaries are either redundant or 'working their notice'. "To suggest that the GAA is associated with fascism is grossly insulting and a total misrepresentation of what this sporting organisation stands for." Tweet
