I also expected to see Tyron Lannister by Visual Waste over in the corner but it has been painted over. I'm not sure who by. I can't quite make out the tag.

ps Why not take a Belfast street Art tour?
Seedhead Arts Street Art Walking Tour
The tour lasts at least 1.5hrs, but really it's closer to 2hrs, such good value at £8/person. Book online in advance via The Black Box venue website as it was really busy the day we went.
I must do this myself. lol
Hit the North, Street Art by Friz Joy's Entry Belfast
This gable wall mural street art work in Joy's Entry by Friz, dates from Culture Night September 2015 when street artists from near and far were encouraged to make their mark on walls down at Belfast's Cathedral Quarter.
The art, which would not look out of place in any gallery features the work of some of the best street artists in Northern Ireland, the Republic, Britain and Europe. Thirty walls were 'artified' by 30 artists in two days to coincide with Culture Night. The event was sponsored by Becks.
Curator Adam Turkington of Seedhead Arts stated, An artist from Madrid told me that in terms of street art, Belfast is now way ahead of other modern European cities so I think that is something to be proud of, he said. If you commissioned commercially any of these paintings, you could pay up to £15,000 each, so that's something to think about, he added. We really do have a valuable outdoor art collection to be treasured.
This is just one example by well known street artist Marian Noone aka Friz.

The Best of West Ireland: Dingle, Galway, and the Aran Islands
Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide | Deepest Ireland is best experienced on its Gaelic-speaking west coast, where the rugged villages have changed little over the generations. After exploring the remote Aran Islands, we visit Galway, chase a friendly dolphin, and delve into the scenic Dingle Peninsula. Ringing with music from its rustic pubs and dotted with prehistoric forts, this region is something special. If you're to fall in love with Ireland, chances are it'll be right here. © 2002 Rick Steves' Europe
