Victory To The INLA
The 1989 image of this Ballycolman Republican Socialist Youth mural was black and white, suggesting that it was not then finished. By 1990, a Tricolour had been painted in the background but the paint had deteriorated in many places.

To The End
Lines from Bobby Sands’s poem Rhythm Of Time, alongside portraits of the ten deceased 1981 hunger strikers and a lark in barbed wire. “There’s an inner thing in every man/Do you know this thing my friend?/It has withstood the blows of a million years/And will do so to the end.”
