Police have said that a fire which damaged facilities at a west Belfast GAA club at the weekend was arson.
A shed that operated as a shop, signage and an electronic scoreboard at Lámh Dhearg CLG club in Hannahstown was deliberately set alight.
The club said it would not be deterred from continuing to provide activities for young people in the area.
"As our club makes preparations for hosting a wide range of kids camps and championship games over the summer period our club facilities have been deliberately targeted this weekend," a statement said
"Our club shop, scoreboard and signage board which celebrated the recent opening of our new pitch were all destroyed in a fire.
"The club has made great efforts in recent years to improve our club facilities for our members and local community and are deeply concerned by this act of vandalism at a time when our facilities are needed the most.
"This event has made us more determined to make good the damage and to continue to provide the best facilities for the benefit of so many in our community."
Police said they believed the fire was started just after 6pm on Saturday.
"It's absolutely unacceptable that a community organisation should be targeted in this way," a police spokesperson said.
"Our enquiries are ongoing and we would appeal to anyone who may have noticed any suspicious activity in the vicinity of the club, particularly those who may have relevant dash cam or other footage to contact us," the spokesperson added.
Sinn Féin councillor Arder Carson said this was a "pure act of vandalism that fills you with despair, attacking the very organisation that provides so much for young people and the entire community".
"It has to be condemned without reservation," he said.
"Lámh Dhearg supported by it members and the local community work relentlessly to provide top class facilities and services that give hope and opportunity to young and old alike," Cllr Carson added.
"This is an attack on everyone of them.
"Lighting any fire in in the open air in this weather beggars belief but this is a different level of reckless stupidity.
"Anyone who has any information should bring it forward so that those responsible can be brought to account."
