Cookstown: Orange Order hall attacked in ‘hate crime’

An Orange hall in County Tyrone has been damaged in an attack that police are treating as a hate crime.

Two windows of the building on Fairhill Road, Cookstown, were smashed overnight.

A year ago, the Orange Order said a boulder was thrown through a window of the hall.

Ulster Unionist Party councillor Trevor Wilson said the latest attack was “an act of wanton vandalism”.

“It’s a shame that a hall could elicit such hatred in the minds of people who have nothing positive to offer the community,” he said.
