A pair of boards describing the life of IRA volunteer and 1981 hunger striker Raymond McCreesh in both English and Irish are mounted on the railings at Raymond McCreesh Park, in Patrick Street, Newry.
For the controversy over naming the playground after McCreesh, see Páırc Réamoınn Mac Raoıs.
The same pair of boards were also mounted at the McCreesh memorial in Camlough.
