RNU member Tony Taylor was jailed for three years in 2011 for possession of a rifle and had his early release license revoked in 2016 and returned to Maghaberry. Over the last month, both Sınn Féın and SDLP politicians in Belfast and Derry have called for him to be either charged or released, alleging that his detention is contrary to section 6 of the Human Rights Act (Irish News | Derry Now | Derry Now). Gael Force Art (Fb) took to Slıabh Dubh/Black Mountain to highlight the case.

Sculptor Elaine Taylor (Tw | Fb) makes creations out of wire (see images at Studio Souk). For her Hit The East mural she has created what looks like a wire robot monster rising out of the lough to terrorise east Belfast.
