This eochaır/key replaces a plough-in-the-stars on the OIRA ex-prisoners support centre on the Falls Road at Clondara Terrace, seen in Official Republican Movement. The centre perhaps takes its name from the newspaper from the 1970s that was composed of articles written by prisoners and smuggled out of Long Kesh. Here is issue #3, from September, 1973.

“No blacks, no Irish, no dogs, no POWs – sponsored by SDLP/TUV [Traditional Unionist Voice]”. The reference of this board in Turf Lodge is a June motion in the NI Assembly to bar anyone convicted of a serious offence from serving as a ministerial adviser (the trigger case being Mary McArdle). Passage of the bill was secured with SDLP support of the motion.

Martin Corey was found guilty of the murder of two policemen in 1973 and released in 1992. As noted in the tarp — “interned in Maghaberry prison since April 2010” — he was returned to prison in 2010, and a 2011 commission ruled that he was a member of the CIRA (WP). An appeal – on the grounds that evidence had been withheld – was rejected in December, 2012. The campaign for his release continues in republican areas:

The fence of the disused barracks in Plater’s Hill/Lineside Coalisland, makes for an impromptu notice-board. Alongside ads for “youth day” and a “fitness club” we say an international women’s day placard featuring Marian Price and a 1916 Societies tarp using an Éamonn Ceannt quote from Kilmainham jail 1916: “I leave for the guidance of other revolutionaries, who may tread the path which I have trod, this advice, never treat with the enemy, never to surrender to his mercy, but to fight to a finish.”
“Free Marian Price”, “End controlled movement”, “End forced strip searches”, “Support republican POWs” and “End British internment”.

Bobby Sands has been replaced at the centre of this Enniskillen board by a copy of the 1916 Proclamation flanked by Easter lilies. (See the previous version.) The rest of the board remains the same: graveside mourners surrounded by the four provinces and Celtic knotwork. The sunburst and starry plough have been painted in the corners of the out-building.
