He said: “I am disgusted that someone has taken it upon themselves to scrawl over the war memorial in Tandragee.
“This is particularly callous as we approach Remembrance Day.
“This should not need to be said; but the sacrifice of the servicemen and women from our community and the commemoration of their service sits above politics and public discourse.
“Those who gave their all deserve our greatest respect and their memorial should never be vandalised to convey political messages.
“Those who feel our freedoms and way of life are under threat should engage in the political process to affect real change. That is what I am in the business of doing.
“This disgraceful act has been reported to the relevant authorities and I trust the memorial will be restored quickly.”
