Acht Gaeilge Anois! - Irish Act Now!
This new graffiti on the boarded up windows of the Scottish Mutual Building in Bedford Street highlights the stumbling block in the negotiations for the resumption of the Stormont Executive. Sinn Féin demands an Irish Act Now, the DUP argues for a more general package offering limited rights to both Irish and Ulster Scots.

The proposed Scottish Mutual hotel site, Belfast
An imposing sandstone, turreted structure at the corner of Donegall Square South and Bedford Street, the Scottish Temperance (later Scottish Mutual) Buildings were built in 1904 to a design by Henry Seaver and remain “as built”. It was reported (July 2013) that the intention is to convert the building into a hotel incorporating ground-floor bars and restaurants.
