Repainted version of Free Ireland (1990 | 1991 | 1993) in Beechmount Avenue, Belfast.

The four provinces are now boards, and the date (1916-1990) has been painted out. A ‘Beechmount Avenue’ street sign has also been added to the wall.

On the left are pike-men from 1798 and in front is a crowd of people carrying torches. Their common enemy(?) is a wad of ten pound notes, apparently from the European Social Fund, American Fund For Ireland and the Ireland Fund.

Get in touch if you know what the issue is and what the event from 12-18 December 1992 was.
