There's been widespread condemnation after a banner describing an IRA hunger striker as a hero has appeared in a play park in Newry.
The sign, along with tricolours, has been erected at the Raymond McCreesh park - as a tribute to the hunger striker.
The name of the play park has been the subject of much debate - with a unionist motion to rename the site rejected last December.
Mr McCreesh was reportedly in possession of a rifle used in the Kingsmill Massacre, in which ten Protestant men were murdered.
He died on hunger strike in 1981.
