“Let no man write my epitaph until my country takes her place among the nations of the world.” These images are from the launch of a board to Robert Emmet, a Protestant and republican (WP) on Havana Way, Ard Eoın/Ardoyne.

Emmet to hang! The launch included a re-enactment of Emmet’s execution on 20th September 1803.

A mural to Emmet was one of the very few CNR mural painted before the Troubles, in 1953 for the sesquicentennial – see Visual History 02.
