Ben Shorten, of RTÉ/Boston University’s College’s Century Ireland 1913-2013 project writes:

This Sunday, September 8 is the 100 year anniversary of the publishing of Yeats’ ‘September 1913’. It was printed in The Irish Times with the title ‘Romance in Ireland’.

A mural of soccer legend George Best is being replaced by a painting of a UVF gunman and the quote ‘Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed‘ in Sydenham, East Belfast.

The Best mural was created in 2010 with the help of Belfast City Council’s Peace III project with a grant of £1,500 to cover materials which itself, replaced a UVF mural at the time.
