A tribute to Father Alec Reid, who died on November 22nd and buried on the 27th, has been added to the international wall on Divis Street. Reid was a priest in the nearby Clonard monastery and helped negotiate between Sınn Féın and the SDLP and between nationalists and the government of the Republic. He is perhaps best known for attempting to save Corporals Wood and Howe and administering the last rites to them, in 1988 (WP).
This piece takes the place of a ‘Free Marian Price” mural; Price was freed on May 30th, 2013.
The pieces to the left and right have been previously featured: End Internment | Milltown 25
