RNU (Republican Network For Unity) mural at the top of Berwick Road (Paráıd An Ardghleanna) featuring the words of Maıréad Farrell, one of the PIRA members shot on Gibraltar.

“Everyone tells me I’m a feminist. All I know is that I’m just as good as others … and that especially means men. I am definitely a socialist and I am definitely a republican. I believe in a united socialist country, definitely socialist. Capitalism can offer our people nothing and yet that’s the main interest of the British in Ireland.”

Graffiti in Holywood giving voice to the feeling among Protestants that they have lost control (and that bringing back Johnny Adair might help).

Brian Shivers, who was convicted in 2012 (Indo) of the 2009 Masserene Barracks shooting (WP) has had his conviction quashed at a retrial (Irish Times). The “RIP you bastard” is unclear – it might refer to the fact that he suffers from cystic fibrosis or that, now free, he is a marked man.

Flyer/sticker on a large electrical box in Derry on the case of  Tony Taylor. “End the brutality in Maghaberry jail.” It then alleges that Taylor was assaulted while in restraints at Maghaberry. The flyer contends that Taylor was “arrested for possession of a plastic bag”, whereas the Tele reports that Taylor was arrested on charges of possession of a rifle with intent to endanger life.

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).
