Plans to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the death of
hunger striker Bobby Sands on May 5 in New York, have Unionists hot under the
collar.
The Irish papers reported that Gerald Kelly, the Belfast
painter who together with other artists will create a mural to Sands, had been
given a $75,000 grant from the City of New York.
