The stencil seems to be the weapon of choice of Éırígí at present. Many varieties flourish in Lenadoon.

Isn’t Working
Two pieces from the recently seeded, though still enclosed, site of the old Andersonstown police station, both commenting on austerity measures prompted by the current recession. On Oct. 9th, 2012 the Assembly passed the first stage of a welfare bill (instigated by London) which will cut benefits significantly (BBC). SF and the SDLP opposed the measure. In the background of the shot below various SF boards can be seen.
The meme “____ Isn’t Working” in the placard below originates with this classic Labour Isn’t Working poster from 1978.

End Sectarianism
“End sectarianism – it hasn’t gone away. Bring down the walls.” Workers Party (web) stencil on Northumberland Street, Belfast. “It hasn’t gone away” echoes Gerry Adams’s remark (Sunday 13 August, 1995) that the IRA “haven’t gone away”.
Below, a Workers Party banner rests against a wall in Custom House Square prior to the march Up The Shankill And Down The Falls on Saturday (October 6th, 2012), the day before the mural was photographed.

Na Fıanna Ard Eoın
The Fıanna plaque at the top of Berwick Road gets a sunburst background and cut-out portraits of the four Fıanna named on the plaque which dates back to 2009, commemorating “one hundred years of resistance” (1909-2009): Davy McAuley, Josh Campbell, Josie McComiskey, and Bernard Fox, all of whom died in 1972. The vintage Fıan on the left is perhaps Christy Lucey. The medal pictured is the Golden Jubilee medal.
“You may kill the revolutionary, but never the revolution.” “Dedicated by the Republican Network For Unity.” “Strength in our hearts, strength of our limbs, consistency of our tongues.”
For close-up of the plaque, see M06728.

Martin Corey
“Release Martin Corey” stencil now appearing all over nationalist west Belfast, alongside ‘Free Marian Price’. Martin Corey was returned to prison in 2010 and a 2011 commission ruled that he was a member of the CIRA (WP | Belfast Telegraph).
[An appeal – on the grounds that evidence had been withheld – was rejected in December, 2012.]
