Audio interview with Gavin Robinson, former Lord Mayor of Belfast, and Maire Hendron, Alliance Party Pottinger Councillor on Belfast City Council, by Stephen Nolan for BBC Radio Ulster The Nolan Show on 16 October 2013. 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. Robinson and Hendron discuss the negative activity that paramilitaries are engaged in in East Belfast. The Nolan Show is a daily current affairs programme on BBC Radio Ulster.
