A urinal featuring a DUP logo that was installed on an outside wall in the Holyland area of Belfast has been destroyed.
The Irish artist Adam Doyle, aka Spicebag, and the Bristol based art-collective Patternup announced the unusual addition to the junction of Rugby Avenue and Palestine Street on Instagram, stating it was their reaction to the DUP reaching an agreement on a deal to restore Stormont.
“We celebrated the DUP re-entering Stormont with this public install,” they wrote on Wednesday.
“While a lot of people in Belfast haven’t a pot to p*** in they have this at least.
“Hope (DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson) enjoys his time as (deputy first minister).”
While Sinn Féin’s Michelle O’Neill is now set to make history as Stormont’s first nationalist first minister, it is widely expected that Emma Little-Pengelly will be the DUP’s choice for the role of deputy first minister.
Mr Doyle from Co Wicklow later told BelfastLive: “I have had the idea to do this before and seeing as they are now agreeing to go back we felt that it would be a good time to put up the piece after ‘assemblying’ it in a flat.”
By Thursday, pictures showed the new outdoor facility had already been destroyed.
