Derry still riven with sectarian attacks…

According to the Derry Journal:

…police statistics reveal that a total of 282 incidents were recorded at the city’s interface areas – Bishop Street/Fountain, Irish Street/Gobnascale and Tullyally/Curryneirin – in the single year period between April 2006 and April 2007. A total of 120 – more than two incidents per week – were reported to police at the flashpoint Bishop Street interface alone.

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.

If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
