The First Blanketman

IRA prisoner Kieran Nugent is reputed to have said – upon being imprisoned after the removal of Special Category status in 1976 – “I’m not a criminal – the Brits will have to nail prison clothes to my back.”

The mural is a February repainting of Cıarán Nugent and for the launch it was surrounded with posters from the period.
