I think these are ripening alder buckthorn berries, on a tree, among the rowans, between the Annadale Embankment and the Lagan. If so they are rare throughout the whole of Ireland. NI distribution here http://www.habitas.org.uk/priority/species.asp?item=3200 and the whole island here http://www.wildflowersofireland.net/plant_detail.php?id_flower=636&wildflower=Buckthorn,%20Alder DO NOT EAT - the berries are very dangerous and can cause internal bleeding.
