Act Now
The Belfast Telegraph reports that an Irish language bill will be published in the near future, though the DUP have already rejected such an Act. (For more background and discussion see Brian Walker’s post a few days ago on Slugger.) The éırígí stencil above, calling for “Acht Na Gaeılge Anoıs!!!” – “An Irish Language Act Now!!!”, is in Hugo Street below a tricolour and a plaque in the memory of Pearse Jordan (see the second image, below). The wide shot shows the two other pieces on this side of the street, a ‘Justice For The Craigavon 2’ stencil (featured previously in Justice) and Palestinian skyjacker Leila Khaled.

Continuity Not Compromise

The second, below, claims that Waterford Street/Sráıd Phort Láırge is CIRA GHQ – general head-quarters.

New Graffiti Loading
The corner of College Court and College Street is something of a contested space, as whatever street art appears is painted over in short order. First there was The Sun Will Make You Blind which was followed by Ballex and now there is “graffiti image loading …” with a progress bar – the third piece in under a year.
Along the same lines, see New Mural Loading.
The Red Ant visible in the wide shot, below, also appears in Cat & Mouse.
Andrew reports that a version of this piece also appeared at The Menagerie in 2010.
