The main image – of women banging bin lids at the approach of British Army soldiers – is complete and the “25 years: time for peace, time to go” stencil is being added at the bottom. Still to come, the title at the top: “Falls/Clonard – 25 years of resistance”.
The circular logo was designed by Robert Ballagh (Circa 1994, p. 22).
For the completed work, see the Paddy Duffy Collection. The top third of this mural was still visible in 2017.
