Dunmurry woman forced to flee her home
A 60-year-old Catholic woman has been forced to flee her home
after a series of sectarian attacks and intimidation. The single
woman, Maureen Orderly, from Millfort Avenue in Dunmurry had been
renting her home for just three months and now she has been
forced to move.
According to Orderly, she first became worried when her
grandchildren came to stay for the weekend and were asked about
their religion.
Then on 29 June, an Orange parade came along the street and
Maureen's car was the only one left on the road. That night, at
about 2.30am, she had a brick thrown through her window and
believes the motive for the attack was sectarian. Orderly says
she thinks the loyalists believed she deliberately left her car
on the Road during the parade.
The Catholic woman said the RUC were unsympathetic and completely
uninterested.
Sinn Féin councillor Paul Butler said Maureen Orderly's plight
had to be seen in the context of a campaign of intimidation
against nationalists living in the Dunmurry area. ``There is no
doubt that Catholics are being driven out of Dunmurry,'' he said.
``The RUC are aware of this, but unfortunately they seem to be
intent on playing down this intimidation.''
