The Foreign Affairs Minister has slammed paramilitaries for a hoax bomb threat at the venue he had to be rushed out of in March.

Simon Coveney was speaking in North Belfast, at an event organised by the John and Pat Hume Foundation.

During the speech, a member of his team approached him and spoke into his ear, and he was promptly escorted out of the building.

Having returned to the Houben Centre today, Simon Coveney says he's still furious that happened:

"For God's sake in this day and age, shouldn't we be beyond having to call out paramilitaries and it's role in society in Northern Ireland. There is no excuse or justification for such violence, threats or coercion."
