It hosted more journalists than tourists survived. 33 bombings by the provisional irish republican army, the re and held the dubious honor of being europes most foam hotel. Ah ah, in the mid 19 sixtys, despite the historical enmity, the relationship between the protestant unionist and the catholic nationalist communities was relatively stable.

Youd opa here in the center of belfast. It was a time the relative economic prosperity of relative positivity. There was a time before the trouble was really emerged.

The tall is building and the city at the time. Another euro for regular was robin walsh. Then a reporter for the belfast evening telegraph. He later became a b, b, c news editor, and ultimately the controller of Pbc Nova on. Well, i think that the impression was very mixed, that there was a bit of what is this place doing here . But then there was an element of hope actually is that such a hotel should be built ah said carrion, killing Car Bombs and Violence Paramilitary Activity spread across the Northern Ireland and built to a peak in 971. In the construction of the europa was nearly complete. When the 1st Bomb struck hotel, you pull the bombs for the 1st time and the 3rd to july 9, 171, actually a week or 2 weeks prior to the opening of the building. So even before the Hotel Europa was open to doors to the public in belfast, ready be not targets for the provisional high are they nevertheless, 5 days after the 1st Bomb, the rope held its ground. It has been designed to make a bold statement. Its architecture. Sceptics services, stuff and management. Ah, at the time Henry Kelly was a young irish Print Journalist working in belfast for the dublin faced irish time. The 1st time i went into the europe, obviously through the security then up in it. And the foyer was just one of the biggest bits of hotels ive ever seen in my life. And i been a few places. Obviously, what ever they had decided to do. They were going to say, were here. Gerald seymour was among the 1st journalists to report extensively on Northern Ireland while working for the british news organization. The 1st time i went to the rubber hotel, it was brand new, and it has been opened a couple of weeks. And that would have been in the early summer of 971. 00 and all hell had broken loose in belfast at that time passed and rom, explosions, rock to City Center in broad daylight. 2 months after it opened, on the 6th of september 1971, a 2nd bomb hit the europa. A Car Bomb exploded next to the hotel. Seriously damaging the protestant unionist party headquarters. 40 people were injured on the rope as windows completely shattered. The Hotels 1st Manager was half a brown, and he immediately ordered the glass to be repaired and the guest should been evacuated to be re accommodated. Most of them were journalists, harper broad, internationally, a double m, v. He was to be awarded. Member of the british Empire Metal by the queen. A 2nd M B E was of course manager belfast, your robot. And he was a seasoned hotelier. Irish Harper Brown was that rare sort of character who actually enjoys emergencies and danger. He bustled around and he was a small, energetic man who ran everything to do with a hotel. And we were actually rather proud of him and funny. So the way he was rather proud of us under brown, the roper continued to convey a sense of business as usual. But despite his efforts, the europa was soon back in the firing line. In october, 971 to i r. A man entered the hotel, held 8 people at gunpoint and placed a large white box at reception, which contained a huge bomb in the hotel would be vacuum aged vehicles were removed from the area, and the british army arrived including Bomb Disposal experts. Major george stone. I was never there, i got a bomb, went off, but i was there once in the lower park, when somebody came in it said that theres a bomb. Weve all got together. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I looked across to the for you and the biggest box you have ever seen. The size of that table was there. And that was the famous Bomb Banner was dismantled by George Sty ups, which had as exploded would have actually taken out. The hotel styles was prepared to go to enormous lengths to defused a bomb. And on one occasion, he sent up to the Ro Victoria Hospital for their most molten and sophisticated x ray equipment. And had it brought down the road and brought into the hotel. So he could better examine the ball and worked on it for hours. He came out and he said, got my boot on the beast throat, and crushed it. 1972 was all give me the worst in the 30 history of the Northern Ireland violence. It began with whats known a bloody sunday on the 30th of january, when british soldiers killed 13 people in dairy during demonstrations against the british policy of internment. Without trial. 2 months later, a Car Bomb went off in the Parking Area behind the europa. The explosion triggered fires and caused massive damage to the nearby grand victoria Railway Station, shattering all the hotels windows and spreading panic among local residents. But no one was killed. More belfast bombings followed. The europa became an ill re propaganda target. Here you had the words media in this hotel, the provisional irish activities involved the bombing of commercial premises. They wanted to make Northern Ireland ungovernable, get the british hit commercialism. And lets have a united ireland and they were doing it by serious violence. And here they brought the news to the doorstep of the charges. And here you had a posse of people who a witness that im the be exported the message the hotel became an irony target. First of all, cultures bright shiny new and inviting to be blown up. They did say a bombs to make an impact. So what better place to place them then they then the hotel where the, where the press. Well thats why they did it go to europe was targeted by the primarily because it represented if you like the investment into the center of belfast investment by the government of Northern Ireland into the center of the city. It was one thing for the journalists to be reporting these attacks. But for the hotel stuff, the bombings kept them on high alert all the time. In april, 972, they noticed a suspicious truck parked on the street between the hotel and the Opera House and raised the alarm. A british army Bomb Disposal unit arrived and of course the cameras were then. A few minutes later, the bomb exploded. The bluff was felt across the city doing huge damage to the Ground Floor of the europa, shattering most of its windows, causing panic amongst the journalism. Well there werent too many visitors during the trouble to norris and not hard and other than the hordes of news people who came here and the place actually survived because of its Journalist Tick Involvement and the the hotel really took that by the scruff of the neck and made it almost unused room. Ah, piano, remember, was quite conspiratorial because you didnt want of the journalist to hear your conversation. It was another age of journalism, in which you will remember not for your successes but feel defeats. So you did everything possible to keep up with the got it. Ah, the sunday times Journalist Krist Ryder described the hotel you crossroads of intrigue and in a sense it was. So the hotel you rope was actually a really important place to come to share information, to hear the gossip of journalists, perhaps to get your story across journalists, ah, the Dining Room in albany evening. In the early motion, an amazing place. There was a journalist, be with our various contacts, supposedly be from the security forces. Spooks pardon miller trace politicians right across the board. And it was very interesting to observe the Dining Room of the tide because half the people were listening and trying to east drop on the next table because they were so many intriguing people. This was a hub of journalism. The, the re also warned of impending attacks. So when a bomb was found in the ladys toilet, since june 1972 stuff and journalists had an hour to evacuate, the hotel casualties were avoided. But the badly damaged the 1st floor. This was the 1st Ball to go off inside the hotel. The me, i will remember being evacuated from the rubber till all the alarm sounded and we were, we were ushered out. And this was one occasion when, when the bomb did blow up the killing climax. Today a pilot encoding a bomb belfast luxury Europa Hotel. If you had been evacuated as a guest from the hotel on 17 occasions or more than 17, then the Hotel Management presented you with a special tie. And i have a little certificate to say that i had been evacuated on the 17 times, plus on the 21st of july, 1972 was one of the most violent days of all its known as bloody friday. The 26 i all re bombs, went off across bel, killing 11 people, and injuring more than 140. The rope survived bloody friday, but not so very long. Some 6 months later, the ill re hit the hotel again with a series of bombings in 1973. In march, a british army Bomb Disposal unit detonated a Coal Bond with a robotic all and in may and october of that year, 2 bombs exploded at the back of the hotel. The robin was remembered visibly. I did not have the misfortune of being evacuated. That is enough to say, i didnt have an experience of that because one afternoon, my wife was having Afternoon Tea in the hotel. There was a bomb alert, but she armed her girlfriend or escorted algebra hotel, passed the bomb, which was in a should cash at reception. Unlike the good wife of a journalist, she went to a Telephone Kiosk crossed the road from the hotel and rang my direct number of work. To say, there is a bomb in the Rope Hotel and ive just been evacuations. And would you believe that bomb went off and i heard that far enough and i remember screaming, are you all right . Are you all right . And she was, she was not in church. So a little i wasnt effect it directly. I had a worse experience because it was my wife, the in the 3 years since it opened 25 bombs said so far exploded in and around the europa. But yet there was optimism for both the people of Northern Ireland and the roper. When the ill re announce to cease far on the 22nd of december 1974. But he only laughed at 25. 00 days. In january 975, the roco was hit again. A boma caused a complete vacuum, ition but the bomb exploded and caused great structural damage, albeit without casualties. Papa brown over saw the response. If i could get anybody in my car because id like to get those 2 windows push i 1st and 1975 a year here. There were 2 large bomb attacks. Second to which in december 1975, a Car Bomb exploded outside the hotel, destroyed almost all the windows in the hotel. And as a consequence of the damage, encouraging that stickler talk. That will tell her to because for several months thereafter, the hotel, you roper, became colloquially known as the hard bored hotel because after explosions, it wouldnt be possible for the glaze. Yours to fit you windows immediately. So wouldnt boards had to be erected. The bloss forced the rope her to close over a year when a reopened it was fortress europa, surrounded by barricades to stop on identified callers going near the entrance and the hotel safe to be on. I r a target in the late 19 seventys, and most of the 80 it was sold in 1983, and the new owners rebranded it as the forum hotel. But the old name was restored 3 years later with another set of owners. Half a brown whod run the hotel through its darkest days, retired in 1985 and died at christmas 2 years later. But then the europa hit new problems. In 1991 its own as went bankrupt, throwing its future into doubt. Not long after the io re resumed its focus on the Hotel And Center bomb threats on the 4th of december, 1991 Martin Mulholland who worked his way up on the Concierge Desk over 18 years to head. It remembers that day 91. 00, the hotel was significantly damaged. Probably the worst damage to that point of any of the attacks when we got into the building. It was a mess. There were very few ceilings that were, were up there were no windows at all. There were given holes in the side of the hotel, it was, it was pretty significant damage. We spent 2 years actually renovating motel and, and trying to get a back to, to work. And we just got to that stage. And then in 93, it was tucked again. In may 993, a massive 450 kilos. Ball rocked bel phone. It was hidden in a large Laurie Park between the europa and the Opera House. The damage was so severe, i was able to stand at my desk and for a look through the restaurant wall, looked through the Opera House will and see the opera hostage. Such was the, the force of the blast. And we find a part of the Engine Block on the 12th floor refilled the devastating ball the main 1990 was the last of 30 attacks by the provisional i already on the hotel youd. Opa. Thereafter that will tell you what was bought by the Hastings Hotel Group and the hotel moved towards a more positive future in the new owners completely refurbished Dio Rocha ah. But the face of politics and Northern Ireland was also changing peace talks ramped up in the mid 1919 when you as President Bill clinton and his wife hillary visited Northern Ireland in support of the peace process.

It was the end of the decades of grim conflict and at the end of an era for this extraordinary war, for the hundreds of journalists to cover northern islands darkest years, the per will always occupy a special place in their hearts and mine. Ah, we love the big house of Thief Security and com with all hell going on around it that they europa invoked. I will never forget that had i have enormous fondness for it. Ah, i regard the roper in belfast as the greatest hotel in the world. We loved it when it was built and we loved it even when it was bombed and it was and remains a special place in this hotel is for ever in my mind because i see it so often, spying in the middle of belfast beside my Railway Station and i never fail to pass Sir Roper was arch seeing the images of the past. And of course, right in the middle of the trouble so much as you look back was initial town, which is not a symbol of hope for the future ah dislike as if it was no conscious monument to the sheer decency of a great city. Fast. So as far as im concerned, you can call the rope what effort he unlike. But for me and for my generation of joan, this is to just be 0. I.
