Belfast Mayor Portrait Unveiled
A new portrait of former Belfast Lord Mayor Máirtín Ó Muilleoir, painted by well Dublin artist Robert Ballagh, has been unveiled.
The portrait is diamond shaped and depicts the Sinn Féin politician wearing running gear without his chain of office.
The former Mayor gave up his seat on Belfast City Council to become an MLA at Stormont. He said: "I wanted a piece which, while offbeat, echoes the vibrancy and fun of Belfast and speaks to the momentum and drive which a mayor needs equally to run the city or run the towpath.
"I also pay homage to the wonderful Northern Ireland Hospice, where my father died 10 years ago this week, by wearing a tee-shirt they presented to me."
