This is a vary rare example of the Irish Tricolour in a PUL mural. In a few earlier murals it has been danced upon by a red hand with legs; in this UDA/UFF board it is being squeezed like a rag. The two UDA letterings are out on Blacks Road.

“In proud and loving memory of all local volunteers, prisoners of war, republican activists and the unsung heroes who died of natural causes having served the cause of Irish republicanism [“sean óglach” on the individual plaques]. Together in unity you formed a bond which gave true meaning to the undefeated risen people. Your deeds of bravery and resistance will never be forgotten by the people of greater St. James’s. In your honour the quest for Irish freedom continues.”
With the famous “our steps will be onward” quote from Máıre Drumm at an anti-internment rally in Dunville Park on 10th August, 1975 (RN).
