Those From St Mary’s Parish
“I ndılchuımhne orthu sıúd ó pharóıste N. Muıre a thug a rıabh [raıbh] acu ar son saoırse na hÉıreann. Erected in proud and loving memory of all those from St Mary’s parish, Newry who have fought for Irish freeedom. Ar dheıs Dé go raıbh a n-anamacha. Pobal pharóıste N. Muire a thóg an leacht cuımhneacháın seo.” Pike-men are used on the base as a generic symbol of Irish nationalism, rather than mention of any particular group. In later years, stones to the Signatories and the hunger strikers will be added, along with graveside volunteers in modern garb.
