Trimble Calls The Shots, RUC Fires

Extramural Activity1 Comment

Two by the same hand in William Street, Derry: “Trimble calls the shots, RUC fires” and “UUP/RUC”. David Trimble was leader of the Ulster Unionist Party from 1995 to 2005. The issue referenced here is perhaps Trimble’s involvement in the Garvaghy Road dispute, either that he conveyed a threat from the UVF’s Billy Wright to UK Home Secretary Patrick Mayhew, or his admission that he pressured the DPP and the RUC to prosecute the leaders of the Garvaghy Road Residents Coalition.

Two larger boards on the second storey of the Sınn Féın office on the Falls Road. On the left: “If you are harassed, intimidated or victimized by British Army or RUC, contact your local Sınn Féın”, “Demilitarise now!” On the right: the “Slán Abhaıle” image with “Saoırse – Free the political prisoners”, and “Dea mhéın dár dtacaıthe go leır óna cıme cogaıdh” with a list of “Clonard/Lr Falls” POWs.

For the smaller boards on the first floor, see Unlock The Door To Peace.

Falls Road, west Belfast

The image was also produced in the Short Strand (east Belfast), in Ardoyne (north Belfast), on Free Derry Corner, in Shantallow (Derry), and in Letterkenny.
