Protest call over UVF mural on Falls Road
A dissident republican group is planning a protest against the replacement of an IRA mural on the Falls Road with one depicting the old UVF.
The image – showing Edward Carson and what appears to be the Larne gun-running operation – recently replaced an image of dead IRA convict Kieran Nugent, and on Wednesday the new mural needed to be cleaned after it was attacked with paint.
A Facebook group called ‘Belfast Cumann’, linked to the 32 County Sovereignty Movement, wrote on Thursday: “We’re calling on all like-minded people against the removal of the murals at the international wall, Falls Road, to join us tomorrow [Friday] at 12pm at the wall to show our opposition to this revisionist agenda.”
