This is a two-part electoral mural from Sınn Féın: on the left, the mural is for the specific candidacy of local man Nıall Ó Donghaılle – he was successfully elected to Belfast City Council and served as Lord Mayor; on the right, for Sınn Féın generally, using words from (the song) On The One Road (here’s a Wolfe Tones rendition): “Dublin, Belfast, Cork and Donegal” … and Short Strand too!

Mountpottinger Road, Belfast, which has its own Visual History page.

Two sides of the same board, in the front yard of Connolly House (Sınn Féın headquarters on the Andersonstown Road). Top, “sometimes it takes a 4-letter word to be heard … vótáıl Sınn Féın” with four moments of protest – votes for women, Civil Rights, Sands’s election, Sands. Bottom, 95th anniversary Easter Rising commemoration with (1981 hunger striker) Pat Sheehan as the main speaker.
