Windows Smashed At Co. Down Hotel

Vandals have smashed a number of windows in an early morning attack at a Portaferry hotel.

All the windows of the restaurant on the ground floor of the Narrows Hotel in the town were broken in the early hours of Friday morning.

Owner Gillian Killen told reporters that residents in the hotel heard shouting shortly after midnight.

Mrs Killen said that the hotel had been full when the attack took place and said that such incidents gave Northern Ireland a bad reputation among tourists.
