This large tarp in Sackville Street, Derry, reprises a piece that the Bogside Artists (painters of the People’s Gallery) produced in the USA in 2010, on the subject of free speech. The immediate cause of its use here concerning the “NWO” [new world order] is not known.
A version of the image with Union Flag tape over the mouth of Lady Justice was produced in Derry in 2011.

“There can be no dignity in labour, till labour knows no master.” The statue of Jim Larkin in Donegall Street Place has been augmented with a massive mural celebrating the many unions which have membership in Ireland. 2013 marks the 100-year anniversary of the Dublin lock-out, which ran from August 1913 to January 1914. The three female figures in the border to the right of Larkin are Winifred Carney, Inez McCormack, and ?Betty Sinclair?.
For the statue without the mural, see James Larkin.

“The Coalisland – Dungannon Civil Rights March left this point on 24th August 1968. This was the first march in the historic and momentous campaign to establish Civil Rights in the north of Ireland. Marchers were forcefully prevented by the RUC from entering Dungannon Square. This stone, erected on the fortieth anniversary, pays tribute to the courage and strength of those who carried forward the coming Civil Rights campaign – the marchers and stewards who stood against State and RUC threat and intimidation in August 1968 and the following years of struggle. 1968 Civil Rights Commemoration 2008.”
