Here is a gallery of seven pieces of street writing from the Cupar Way “peace” line, starting above with Eoin (see previously: Kiss And Make Up) and ending with NOYS. The wall, and the works on it, are covered in the signatures of tourists who come to see the wall and the murals of west Belfast, though these images (taken between June and October of 2014) are mostly of fairly fresh work.

INLA volunteers Paul McCann, Matt McLarnon, Danny Loughran, and Gino Gallagher are commemorated in a new board unveiled today (2014-06-29) on Northumberland Street.
The work shows the four in uniform against a backdrop of Divis flats, St. Peters, and the plough in the stars. Information about the deaths of each of the four can be found via this IRSP page. The IRSP/Teach Na Fáılte sponsored the piece, which is by Fra Maher and covers over the centre part of the yellow IRSP mural.
Maher also did the anti-fascist/Spanish civil war mural at the left edge of the image above.
