evidence: In 2013, the Northern Ireland executive announced a plan to remove all peace walls by 2023. But a decade on, they are still standing. So, the question now is, how long will they remain? [...] Over 50 years on from their erection, violence is another reason why mixed feelings persist over the removal of peace walls. In April 2021, trouble flared at the Lanark Way gate, as loyalists protested the Northern Ireland Protocol and what they saw as the effective creation of a border between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK. [...] In Bombay Street, some houses situated directly beside the peace wall have their gardens enclosed in steel cages. Mr Mac Maoláin and Sean Murray, who are both part of the local Clonard Residents Association, explain that although the days of the Troubles are long gone, these cages still serve a purpose.
