A mural of the Red Hand Commando (RHC) Youth 'C' Company - which was based in the estate. The RHC was effectively a branch of loyalist paramilitary group the Ulster Volunteer Force - both of which were outlawed in 1973. The RHC were responsible for 12 civilian deaths and decommissioned their weapons in June 2009. "Lamh Dearg Abú" is in fact an Irish Gaelic expression meaning "up the Red Hand [of Ulster]".
