Belfast Peace walls and murals – in photos
A denouncement of British Prime Minister Mrs. Margaret Thatcher, painted on a wall of the Harland and Wolf shipyard in Belfast. The slogans had been daubed there following the signing of an Anglo-Irish agreement. Wall paintings with slogans that support the Irish Republican Army, one in the Gaelic language, seen in the Catholic area of Belfast, divided capital city of the Northern Ireland province in November 1985.

In this photo dated Monday Jan. 16, 2012 a woman and a child walk pass a mural from the Irish Republican Army (IRA) on a wall of a house in West Belfast, Northern Ireland. Police probing the Irish Republican Army’s 1972 killing of Jean McConville, a Belfast mother of 10, want to seize taped interviews with IRA members that Boston College hoped to keep locked up for posterity. Researchers fighting the handover in court next week warn that disclosure could trigger attacks against IRA veterans involved in the secrecy-shrouded project and undermine Northern Ireland’s peace.
