Dungiven Remembers

“Dungiven remembers INLA Vol Kevin Lynch. Help build the socialist republic for which he died.” Lynch died after 71 days on hunger strike in 1981. The IRSP was the political wing of the INLA and continues to operate.

Update: the board perhaps met its end on a bonfire in the Fountain in 2014.
