Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R9J0J7 - A party bike, fietscafé, bierfiets, beer bike or bar bike is a multi-passenger human powered vehicle, invented in 1997 by Het Fietscafe BV from the Netherlands. A party bike is sometimes mistaken for a larger-scale version of a pedicab (cycle rickshaw), but it is not, since the party bike is powered by the passengers, while the steering and braking is controlled by a driver who does not provide pedaling power. Some also double as rolling refreshment stands. Human-powered party bikes have grown into several families of vehicles for a variety of purposes, including tourist rentals and private touring. Party bikes are often used for staff parties and bachelor or bachelorette parties. They are often available at tourist attractions where they are rented by the hour or day and often serve as a rolling refreshment stand. When used in conjunction with alcohol, a party bike usually is hired with a driver.
Construction
A modern tourist party bike usually features open seating for eight or more riders in a sociable configuration. These vehicles are often designed to look like early 20th century trolley cars and have side seating for the pedalers, a bench seat in the rear, rack-and-pinion steering, and a canopy top. A few manufacturers offer an electric assist motor to aid the riders on hilly terrain. Modern party bikes are typically fifteen to twenty feet long, seven feet wide and eight feet tall. Because they are driven on municipal streets, some have headlights, tail lights, and turn signals, as well as lighting for use at night
These pubs-on-wheels have become popular in the United States, as well as the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and France. Some party bikes can have up to 16 cycling passengers, three non-cycling passengers, bar tenders and a driver. In many European municipalities, it is legal to consume alcohol while pedaling or riding on the party bike, provided the driver is not imbibing

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RGHXBK - The Irish National Liberation Army (INLA, Irish: Arm Saoirse Náisiúnta na hÉireann) is an Irish republican socialist paramilitary group formed on 10 December 1974, during the 30-year period of conflict known as the Troubles. The group seeks to remove Northern Ireland from the United Kingdom and create a socialist republic encompassing all of Ireland. With membership estimated at 80“100 at their peak, it is the paramilitary wing of the Irish Republican Socialist Party (IRSP).
The INLA was founded by former members of the Official Irish Republican Army who opposed that group's ceasefire. It was initially known as the People's Liberation Army or People's Republican Army. The INLA waged a paramilitary campaign against the British Army and Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) in Northern Ireland. It was also active to a lesser extent in the Republic of Ireland, Great Britain and mainland Europe. High-profile attacks carried out by the INLA include the Droppin Well bombing, the 1994 Shankill Road killings and the assassinations of Airey Neave in 1979 and Billy Wright in 1997. However, it was smaller and less active than the main republican paramilitary group, the Provisional IRA. It was also weakened by feuds and internal tensions. Members of the group used the covernames People's Liberation Army, People's Republican Army, and Catholic Reaction Force[8] for attacks its volunteers carried out but the INLA did not want to claim responsibility for. The INLA became a proscribed group in the United Kingdom on 3 July 1979 under the 1974 Prevention of Terrorism Act.
After a 24-year armed campaign, the INLA declared a ceasefire on 22 August 1998. In August 1999, it stated that There is no political or moral argument to justify a resumption of the campaign. In October 2009, the INLA formally vowed to pursue its aims through peaceful political means and began decommissioning its weapons.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RGHXBW - Gary Donnelly is an Irish republican politician and an independent member of the Derry and Strabane District Council since 2014
Republican activity - Donnelly is a member of the 32 County Sovereignty Movement (32CSM)
Arrests and convictions
In March 2010, Donnelly was convicted of assaulting a Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) officer and sentenced to seven months imprisonment. While serving his sentence Donnelly briefly went on hunger strike following his removal from the republican wing of HM Prison Maghaberry. Prison officials explained the decision claiming Donnelly had received a death threat from the Real IRA, a charge Donnelly denied.
August 2010 Donnelly was charged under the auspices of terrorism legislation in connection with three pipe bomb attacks in September 2009
November 2014, Donnelly, along with two co-defendants, was sentenced to six-months in prison for causing criminal damage by writing an anti-internment slogan on the historic walls of Derry. Donnelly's solicitor asserted that writing political slogans had been a long-standing tradition and there were no objections from local residents to the graffiti.
July 2015, following a three-volley salute at the funeral of Patsy O'Hara's mother, Donnelly's house was searched by the PSNI. No arrests were made
On 24 May 2014, Donnelly was elected to the Derry and Strabane District Council. Although a purported member of the 32CSM at the time, Donnelly ran as an independent and received 1,154 votes.
He supported independent candidate Thomas Pringle in the Donegal constituency in the 2016 general election.
Donnelly was re-elected to his council seat on 4 May 2019 with 1,374 first-preference votes.
On 20 May 2023, Donnelly was elected to a third term on the council, topping the poll with 1,868 first-preference votes

The hall shown here when taken as a night shot in all its glory.
After Belfast was awarded city status by Queen Victoria in 1888 this magnificent building was first planned. . There was much rapid expansion and thriving linen, rope-making, shipbuilding and engineering industries at the time.
Architect Sir Alfred Brumwell Thomas supervised the start of construction in 1898 with completion in 1906 at a cost of approx \u00a3369,000.
Apparently Durban city hall in South Africa is a close replica of Belfast's City Hall
Later in the year when this originally taken (2004) just across from here in Donegal square, the Northern Bank Robbery took place 20th December.
