The Troubles in Kircubbin
|
|
These are the two incidents which occurred near Kircubbin, County Down during the Troubles. No-one was killed or injured in any of these attacks. 1974 St Mary, Star of the Sea Church, Nunsquarter, was badly damaged by a bomb which was planted at the side door of the chapel. One man, a local joiner, who was working in the church hall adjacent to the church, left the premises shortly before the bomb went off. 1988-1989 McKenna Community Centre on the outskirts of Kircubbin was bombed several times in the course of the troubles. The last attack on the centre, rumoured to have been carried out by Red Hand Commandos resulted in it being completely destroyed. The centre since then has been rebuilt and is still in use today. |
