Blast Wall protecting Downpatrick's PSNI Barracks
This blast wall restricts the width of Irish Street at this point to one lane and adds to congestion in the city centre. The activities of dissident republican groups, especially RIRA and CIRA, who make the police their target, make it most unlikely that the wall will be demolished soon. This is a pity as it hides the beautiful Georgian facade of the building. PSNI is the acronym of Police Service of Northern Ireland, an awkward mouthful coined by Chris Patten to replace the much crisper former name Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC).
