	Information on photograph displayed above

	Title:	Parochial house, Harryville Catholic Church (3), Ballymena
	Location:	Harryville, Ballymena, County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
	Description:	The photograph shows the Parochial house in the grounds of the Catholic church in Harryville, Ballymena. The church was the site of a series of long-lasting protests by Loyalists from September 1996 to May 1998, and also from April to May 1999. Church services were often cancelled due to the level of intimidation and violence experience by those attending the service. A number of Catholics were injured when trying to attend mass and their cars parked nearby were also subject to attack. As can be seen in the photograph, all the windows (and all the doors and other openings) are enclosed with security wire screens. These security measures were installed to prevent the building being burnt and also to protect the Catholic priest from attack.
