Portadown - hate capital of the North
By Sean O'Tuama
In the latest of a series of attacks on Nationalist homes in
Portadown a young mother and her eighteen month old daughter
narrowly escaped injury on Thursday night 28 May.
In the attack a stone crashed through the toddler's bedroom
window as she was being put to bed, spraying mother and child
with glass. Fortunately neither was injured.
``We were very lucky,'' said the woman who wishes not to be named.
She said there have been a number of attacks on Nationalist homes
in the area by youths from the loyalist Corcrain Estate. ``There
is a wall and a fence that is supposed to stop them getting over,
but they are just breaking that. We have had shouts of abuse,
unbelievable things. They have shouted things about Robert
Hamill's murder.''
The woman and a neighbour whose home was also attacked have both
applied for emergency rehousing by the Housing Executive.
