“Born 5th June 1868, executed 12th May 1916. Connolly. “Ireland as distinct from her people is nothing to me.” James Connolly, socialist, patriot, republican, lived here [420 Falls Road, Belfast] as labour organizer during the years 1910 to 1916. This plaque was presented by Gerry Fitt MP on behalf of the Republican Labour Party and unveiled by James Connolly’s son Roderic on 5 June 1968.”
The images of the info board are from 2013.

“1st Batt B Coy Vol Brian Robinson killed in action 2nd Sept 1989. For his country and people he took up the gun a volunteer to the end and a true Ulster son robbed of his life’s blood in Sept 89 but the name Brian Robinson will live for all time.” Robinson was killed by an army undercover unit moments after he had shot and killed a Catholic named Patrick McKenna (WP). As the plaque notes, his mother died at the same time – she reportedly had a heart-attack when she heard of his death.

A vintage republican graffito (e.g. Getty Images) against the RUC is resurrected for use in loyalist Woodvale. Both refer to the “Real Fire” ad campaign from the 80s (e.g. one | two). The Solid Fuel Advisory Service still (2018) uses the image of the dog, cat, and mouse side-by-side.
