“Che” Guevara’s father, also called Ernesto Guevara Lynch, was an Argentinian descended from Patrick Lynch, who emigrated from Galway (in 1742?) and married in Buenos Aries in 1749. (Based on these rodovid pages: one | two | three.) Che’s father is the source of the quote at the bottom of the mural: “In my son’s veins flowed the blood of Irish rebels.”
The Irish inscription, “Thocfadh [Thıocfadh] an réabhlóıdeach a mharú ach ní an réabhlóıd a scríosadh [scrıosadh]”, means (roughly) “It’s possible to kill the revolutionary person but not to destroy the revolution.”
This mural is on Fahan Street in the Bogside, Derry/Doıre.

This board in the Bogside is for “International Women’s Day, 8th March 2013 – Battling On: From petrol bombs to yarn bombs.” The woman in the painting – in the style of Banksy’s Flower Thrower (also imitated in Bundoran Banksy) – seems to have a petrol bomb rather than a yarn bomb.
Here is the board for 2011 International Women’s Day, on the wall next to this one.

Below is a close-up of the information board on Seamus Bradley, a 19 year-old IRA member who was killed during Operation Motorman, the British Army’s retaking of ‘Free Derry’ on July 31st, 1972. Bradley was found to be unarmed and bled to death while in British custody (according to the Pat Finucane Centre). The letter in the display case is addressed to Bradley’s brother, Daniel, from the MoD, and concludes “I regret to inform you … that there is nothing in the circumstances of his death, as detailed in the [Historical Enquiries Team] report, which would make it appropriate for the Government to apologise.”
The plaque is to Patrick Shiels (M03583).
