Arson Attack On Whiterock Orange Hall "Designed To Provoke Protestants"

28 October 2005

The Orange Order believes an overnight arson attack on Whiterock Orange Hall was a deliberate attempt to stir up inter-community tensions in north and west Belfast.

Police are treating last night's attack as malicious. The intruders used bolt-cutters to break into the hall and set fire to the kitchen which was badly damaged.

A spokesman for the Order described the attack as premeditated vandalism designed specifically to provoke Protestants.

"We fear that this attack was intended to stir up things ahead of tomorrow's Love Ulster People's Rally in Woodvale Park in which scores of Orangemen will be taking part. If so, our opponents need to recognise that Orangeism is an integral part of Protestant culture - and it isn't going to be eradicated by the Parades Commission, stupid morons armed with petrol and matches, or anybody else for that matter."
