Is É Seo Nuadha, Rí Tuatha Dé Danann
Two images of an almost complete Nuada mural by Mo Chara in Springhill Avenue, Belfast. The only thing that seems to be missing is the (titular) lettering, which would go in the red circle – “This is Nuada, king of the Tuatha Dé Danann.” The mural is based on the illustrations of Jim Fitzpatrick.

Tell The World, Freedom Is At Hand
1987 version of the ANC-IRA mural on Beechmount Avenue, Belfast. Benjamin Moloise’s words on the right and the letters “IRA” below the shield have been painted out (perhaps to repair the paint-bombing visible in the 1986 version Tell The World Freedom Is At Hand) but more paint has been thrown over the mural and “UVF” has been spray-painted on.
