CIRA-2
The Continuity IRA (CIRA) broke from the Provisionals back in 1986 over the issue of abstentionism in Dáıl Éıreann, but did not begin military attacks until the ceasefire in 1994. This somewhat cryptic graffiti in Beechmount Avenue, Belfast, insists that recent events such as a split in the organisation and decommissioning by the Provisionals will change the CIRA’s status. “CIRA – 2. Delayed No Chance”

Tommy Crossan For Political Status
The word “candidate” has been blanked out from this Tommy Crossan board in Divis Street, west Belfast, perhaps because he urged voters to spoil their votes rather than actually voting for him or anyone else in 2001, or perhaps because although he was not standing in 2004 (for the European Parliament), he was still in need of support in Maghaberry, where he was serving time for conspiracy to murder.

NDA – RIRA
The abbreviation “NDA” stands for “Nationalists Defence Army” a group of which there is no record apart from Derry graffiti. The ribbon and the “14” in the centre stand for the victims of Bloody Sunday.
