The Runner
‘The Runner’ is the final mural painted by the Bogside Artists in the series that would in 2007 be collectively given the name The People’s Gallery (the John Hume mural was added in 2008). The mural shows youths running from CS gas in Creggan. There are portraits of Manus Deery (see his Bogside plaques) and Charles Love in the bottom left; the plaque to Love in the centre is retained.

Wear A Black Shamrock
“Wear a black shamrock against Irish involvement in war” – possibly a reference to Raytheon. The stencil is on an otherwise pristine Free Derry Corner.

Llibertat – Saoırse
The flag and map on the left is the flag of the Catalan Countries (the Starry Plough is in the middle, the Tricolour on the right, with Ireland as a blob). The Catalan Countries include (in Spain) Catalonia, parts of Valencia, and the Balearic islands, plus Andorra, and (in France) the Roussillon region. For a similar pairing (llibertat-saoırse) with portraits of international heroes, see Llibertat (also Llibertat Països Catalans).
