The flag of the “Irish Republic” – the kind that was flown over over the GPO during the Easter Rising/Éırí Amach Na Cásca in 1916 – flies over Free Derry Corner (Visual History) ahead of the Rising’s centenary in 2016. The posters were added a few days later, announcing a commemoration on Monday the 28th; the parade advertised on the rear of Free Derry Corner is on the 27th, which is also the date of the march in Coalisland.
The graffiti is in the nearby Glenfada Park.

“To protect partition! And to serve capitalism!” The Royal Ulster Constabulary, Police Service of ‘Northern Ireland’, and An Garda Síochána are branded as agents of the status quo, enforcing the partition of Ireland and the capitalist system. “Know your enemy – reject political policing”.

This is a repainted version of the Bloody Sunday mural in Westland Street, now with a purple background and white leaves. The Christian cross in the centre was absent from the original version of the mural, and added to the version painted in 2005.

Joe Hill was executed by firing squad on November 19th, 1915, at the age of 36, convicted of shooting a father and son in Utah. Before his death, he sent a telegram to Big Bill Haywood, founder-member of the IWW, saying “Don’t waste any time mourning. Organize!” (WP) The centenary of his death was marked by graffiti on Free Derry Corner.
On the back of the wall is an RNU (Fb) board showing a prisoner behind bars, a victim of internment: “End internment and Britain’s torture of Irish POWs”.
On the buttresses are IRPWA flyers: “End controlled movement now!”, “End forced isolation”, “End the brutality of republican prisoners”, “Stop the brutal & degrading strip searches”, “End the brutality in Maghaberry”, “www.irpwa.com‘.
