Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

This is a replacement version of the gallery of “Clonard Martyrs” above the memorial garden, seen previously in 2011. The central phoenix is now in red (rather than green) and the background imagery has been removed but the roll of honour remains the same:

Left: Dan Duffin, Seán McCartney, Tom Williams, Gerard McAuley, Peter Blake, Seamus Simpson, Seán Johnston, Seán Gaynor, Pat Duffin, Gerard Ó Callaghan, Seamus Burns, Danny Ó Neill, Tom McCann.

Right: Gerard Crossan, Seán Ó Riordan, Martin McKenna, Liam Hannaway, Jim McKernan, Dan McCann, “dedicated to the memory of local republican, Billy Davidson”, Tony Lewis, Joe McKenna, Brian Dempsey, Finbarr McKenna, Seán Savage, Prıonsaıs Mac Áırt.

For many of the stones and plaques, see Clonard Martyrs, Who Have Resisted And Still Resist, and Deceased Republican Prisoners.

Oppose British Political Policing

Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

A 32-County Sovereignty Movement (web) tarp reading “Oppose British political policing” has been added below and partly on top of some lettering reading “RIC – RUC – PSNI”, “RUC -> Collusion covered up by PSNI” on a whitewashed panel that sat empty for weeks. It would seem that the original plans for this piece did not materialise and the tarp is a substitute.
