IRA
The original version of this mural (in 1994) had the words “Óglaıgh Na hÉıreann” rather than IRA and lacked the Starry Plough – the sunburst and hooded gunman (with Uzi?) remain the same.

The Saturday Matinee
This mural is popularly known as ‘Saturday Matinee’ because young people in Derry would spend Saturdays (and many other days) rioting against the British Army, which had been deployed in August 1969 after the Battle Of The Bogside. The official title is The Rioter and it is the eighth mural from the Bogside Artists in The People’s Gallery. The original photograph on which the mural is based is by Clive Limpkin.
