The Australian Manufacturing Workers Union (amwu.org.au) sponsored the mural above in Conway Street, west Belfast.
The painted plaque on the left reads, “Casement Memorial. In proud memory of the 10 Republican prisoners who died on hunger strike in “H” blocks of Long Kesh in 1981. “It is not those who can inflict the most but those who can endure the most who will conquer.” Terence McSwiney. Unveiled by Martin McGuinness, Sınn Féın MP MLA Minister for Education Wednesday 6/12/2000. Donated by AMWU, Craig Johnston State Secretary”. The plaque itself is in Carlton, Australia, named (presumably) for Roger Casement.
Secretary Johnston is on the left in the back. The flag to the right is the flag of the Eureka Stockade.
This mural joins others sponsored by Australian groups. From left to right: Australian Aid For Ireland & Saoırse Melbourne | Caırde Sınn Féın | this AMWU mural | ETU (the Electrical Trades Union).
The in-progress shot is from April 16th.
