Way cleared for Orange Hall claims
Thursday, 18 December 2008
Orangemen whose halls are targeted by arsonists and vandals will find it easier to claim compensation under new laws proposed today.
Draft legislation tabled by the Government at Westminster extends the existing Criminal Damages Order to include all community halls.
This amendment will speed up the claims process for the owners of premises and ensure their insurance premiums are not inflated as a result.
While gaelic athletic clubs have also been damaged in tit-for-tat sectarian vandalism, the new legislation does not cover properties that are used for sporting or commercial use.
