Poleglass - ' Ulster's Monument to Intimidation '
That's how one supporter has described a planned new housing estate between Belfast and nearby Lisburn. Work is due to begin this spring on Pole-glass Estate: its 2,000 homes, away from the centres of sectarian strife. are vital, says the Northern Ireland Office in their programme to relieve the overcrowded slum conditions of Roman Catholic West Belfast. But the project is seen by many in Lisburn district and by leaders of the wider Protestant community, as the creation of another sectarian ghetto, a political threat, and a recipe for social and environmental disaster.
Roger Cook and Nick Ross examine the arguments on both sides of an issue that touches the roots of Northern Ireland's troubles - housing and its allocation.
