Cluan Place

District in Belfast From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cluan Place (derived from Irish Cluain 'meadow') is a Protestant working-class area in eastern inner-city Belfast, in Northern Ireland.[1]

There is currently a peace line, separating the area from Roman Catholic Short Strand.[1][2] Rioting between neighbouring Loyalist and Republican factions has been a feature of the area's recent past. See Battle of Saint Matthew's and 2002 Short Strand clashes.[3][4] CCTV has been introduced along the peace line in an attempt to deter anti-social behaviour and sectarian attacks. [5]
