Calls have been made for police to take action on a controversial mural calling for people to join the UDA.

In a statement, PSNI Commander T/Supt Stephen Reid said: "Police were made aware of a fresh mural in the Glenfield area.
"Local officers are making enquiries to determine the owner of the building on which the mural has been placed with a view to launching an investigation.
"We will also be working with the local authorities to progress the removal of the mural".
