They May Kill The Revolutionary
A row of six panels from Ballycolman estate, Strabane, with individual shots of four of them: (1) We will meet force with force – Irish Republican Army (also seen in 1989); (2) You may kill the revolutionary but never the revolution – Che Guevara 1928-1967 (a completed version of what was visible in 1989); (3) Honour Ireland’s patriot dead – wear an Easter lily (also seen in 1989); (4) James Connolly (for a solo shot, see the 1989 image); (5) Óglaıgh na hÉıreann (for a solo shot, see the 1989 image); (6) Stop Strip Searches (seen previously in 1989)

1916 Easter 1986
Here is the top half of a mural in Berwick Road/Paráid An Ardghleanna. The board at the top reproduces a 1972 postcard entitled Easter with two women – on the left a young woman (Ireland in flames, perhaps suggesting the Rising) and on the right, an old woman (Mother Ireland?) – watching over a prisoner by the light from a prison window. The bottom (with quotes from Connolly and Pearse) was seen in the 1989 image An Attitude Of Revolt.

Beıdh Ár Lá Lınn
Nine hooded republican volunteers, employing an assortment of weapons – rifles, RPG launcher, drogue bomb, machine gun – against a rising sun in South Link, Belfast. “We will have our day.” The trio in the bottom right corner are familiar from other murals, such as this one in Strabane.

An Attitude Of Revolt
Tricoloured quotations from James Connolly and Patrick Pearse below the image of a kneeling volunteer with RPG launcher: “The great appear great because we are on our knees – let us rise” and “As long as Ireland is unfree, the only [honourable] attitude for Irishmen and [Irish]women is an attitude of revolt.”
