“Our graveyards are places where we go to remember our loved ones and are sacrosanct. What has happened at Strabane Cemetery has caused widespread revulsion and those responsible need to be caught and brought before the courts for what they have done."
She said the vandalism was a "heartless and disgusting" act.
