“Cosaın Ár Neodracht – Ní dhéanann muıd freastal ar Westminster nó ar Washington ach ar Éıreann amháın./Protect our neutrality – We serve neither Westminster nor Washington but Ireland only.” The question of Ireland’s neutrality is a frequent one in light of US aeroplanes using Shannon as a stop-over point en route to the Middle East and more recently because of the Russian invasion of Ukraine that has pushed Finland and Sweden to join NATO (CNN).
The other issue on these posters (on the right of the electrical box) is political prisoners in Palestine. The Al Naqab prison is in the Negev, Israel, and “a center of brutality and brutal behavior” according to the head of a Palestinian prisoners’ welfare organisation (Al Mayadeen) with at least six prisoners killed in October-November (People’s Dispatch). (For the POW solidarity poster in the bottom right, see Victory To The PFLP.)
