Manacles “Made in Britain” constrain the republican desire for a united Ireland, contrary to the burning GPO and rising phoenix.

The close-up image shows the plaque to local (A Company 2nd Battalion) IRA volunteers: Stan Carberry, Frankie Dodds, Paul Fox, Sean Bailey, Paul Marlowe, Tony Campbell. Painted by Mo Chara Kelly in Beechmount Avenue.

“Fuaır sıad bás ar son na hÉıreann”, “Ireland unfree will never be at peace”.

1916 Easter 1986

m00798

Here is the top half of a mural in Berwick Road/Paráid An Ardghleanna. The board at the top reproduces a 1972 postcard entitled Easter with two women – on the left a young woman (Ireland in flames, perhaps suggesting the Rising) and on the right, an old woman (Mother Ireland?) – watching over a prisoner by the light from a prison window. (Image #39 in Belinda Loftus’s 1982 dissertation Images In Conflict.)

The bottom (with quotes from Connolly and Pearse) was seen in the 1989 image An Attitude Of Revolt.
