The years of operation of the UVF in this new Ballyduff mural are given as 1966-1994. The main loyalist paramilitaries began what was to be a lasting ceasefire on 13th of October, 1994. The ceasefire was announced by Gusty Spence, who was the organisation’s original leader in 1966.
“Present peace now, stills our hand, death no longer stalks our land, our weapons are silent, and shall remain, but if needed, we shall rise again.”

Is this mural still there?
Sam – It was still there this past summer (2022-07). There was a plan to replace the mural on the top of the sub-station (the first one in https://extramuralactivity.com/2016/02/25/ulsters-fighting-men/ ) later in the summer and so it’s possible that the other three sides might be changed at the same time
Hopefully it stays until I visit in early June. But if it goes away. Then that’s the way it will be.
Sam – hopefully you saw yesterday’s post (Mon March 20th, 2023) about the murals on this sub-station; the one in this post is still there
