26 volunteers and 14 others from the Ardoyne, Bone, and Ligoniel areas are commemorated in a new (2014-10-05) mural. The images below show artist Mickey Doherty, himself an ex-prisoner, at the start of the process – with the grid-work visible – and shooting an “action” shot for VICE TV.
The previous mural also commemorated local volunteers (34 painted portraits rather than a printed board), but this mural adds a celtic cross, funeral volley, and images of Armagh women’s prison, the cages at Long Kesh, and the H-blocks, as well as (an inverted image of) blanketman Hugh Rooney – detailed images tomorrow.

I visited this mural yesterday and it is completely destroyed. The plaster came away from the wall.
Thanks, John. If you see any repairs happening, please let us know.
It was a great mural. So sorry that it is gone. I will certainly keep you informed if anything is happening. I’m quite sure that they will replace it as there has been a mural on that site for quite some years.
