Mural in the Glen Colin estate, just off the Glen Road showing The Roddy’s club (in white) with the hunger striker memorial in the shape of a harp in front and the St. Oliver Plunkett church, which is in fact on the other (southern) side of the Glen Road, with the twin peaks of Divis and Black Mountain in the background. The Bobby Sands quote “Our revenge will be the laughter of our children” is at the bottom and three Gaelic games players on the right.

“Julie Livingstone aged 14 yrs.

The mural is in Glenveagh Drive. There is also a stone and plaque near the spot she was struck, on the Stewartstown Road.

The side wall, which specifically named JJ Gray and Rab Brown (see the previous (2005) version) is repainted in favour of a generic memorial: “This mural is in memory of our fallen comrades. We forget them not. Q[uis] S[eparabit]”.
