The original version of this mural (in 1994) had the words “Óglaıgh Na hÉıreann” rather than IRA and lacked the Starry Plough – the sunburst and hooded gunman (with Uzi?) remain the same.

A volunteer in funereal clothing, including an Easter lily on his beret, is at the centre. Camlough Road/Carnagat Road, Newry, stronghold of PIRA S. Down, Armagh Brigade.
