The IRA said they would no longer use violence, like bombs, after the July 7, 2005 bombings in London, but true Irishmen will always have England.

At the end of the day we decided to change films, and realised there was nothing in our camera.
Had a big laff and went for a point!!  |

First of all, you won't see those murals in Ireland. Not the Republic of Ireland.
You can see those murals in Northern Ireland. Especially Belfast (my home town).
The reason why people accept those paintings on their wall is because they live in a commuinty. They live in a neighborhood which supports the message of the mural.
Those murals are painted on gable ends. The last house in the terrace row will get a mural in most of the affected areas of Belfast. |
