Earlier that week a mural depicting the UVF firing above the site of the former Maze/Long Kesh prison site appeared on a gable in East Belfast. Earlier that month an East Belfast mural of George Best, created using European Union funding as part of a regeneration project, was painted over with an image of a UVF gunman despite criticism from some within the local community.
