McElhatton’s and the Front Page/Fox’s Den has been sold and will be refurbished (Irish News). It’s not clear whether this mustache is a guerilla piece or at the impetus of the new owners.

Here are three shots of the “Ring Of Peace” mural, a massive, three storey piece in Waring Street, undertaken in 1998 to mark the Good Friday Agreement, by Francisco Letelier (with Jennifer Trouton, Colin McGookin, Marie Thérèse Davis) – here is a shot of the artist working on the piece. The mural shows four double-handed arms clasping each other in a circle against a back-drop of cosmic and nature scenes. In the lower portion, two human figures reach out to each other.
Letelier is a Chilean living in Los Angeles, USA; he flew from LA to paint the mural (LATimes). Here is his blog, and a set of Letelier images on Flickr.

This stencil by Visual Waste (Fb | previously) in North Street shows a large black bird carrying off a boy, perhaps in response to the (faked) footage last December (2012) purporting to show an attempt by a golden eagle to snatch a child (youtube).
