“British Army/RUC impunity – a poisonous legacy. 40+ years of British Army/RUC impunity, 351 dead, 4 prosecutions of soldiers. A police force that didn’t investigate, a prosecution service that didn’t prosecute, a judiciary that didn’t convict, an army that re-admitted convicted murderers, and successive governments that denied the murder of hundreds of [?interned?] civilians.”
The Poisonous Legacies conference was held in Derry’s Guildhall on June 14th and 15th 2013, organised by the Pat Finucane Centre and the Bloody Sunday Trust (pdf report).
This board is on the rear of Free Derry Corner.

A tribute to Father Alec Reid, who died on November 22nd, 2013, and buried on the 27th, has been added to the international wall on Divis Street. Reid was a priest in the nearby Clonard monastery and helped negotiate between Sinn Féin and the SDLP and between nationalists and the government of the Republic. He is perhaps best known for attempting to save Corporals Wood and Howe and administering the last rites to them, in 1988 (WP).
This piece takes the place of a ‘Free Marian Price” mural on the International Wall (Divis St); Price was freed on May 30th, 2013.

This is a 1916 Societies (.ie) placard on the disused barracks in Plater’s Hill/Lineside Coalisland Plater’s Hill, Coalisland. See previously: Never Treat With The Enemy.

“Important/Tábhachtach – Faıgh do vóta/Get your vote. Is everyone in your house on the electoral register? Gach vóta luachmhar…/Every single vote counts …” This is a generic electoral board encouraging voter registration (for Sınn Féın voters, at least) as there are elections scheduled until the local and European votes in May, 2014.
