Sean Savage, Maıréad Farrell, and Dan McCann were “Executed by the British SAS 6th March 1988.”
“Oh! Cold March winds that pierce the dark/You cry in aged tones/For souls of folk you’ve brought to God/But still you bear the moans//Oh! Weeping winds, this lonely night/My mother’s heart is sore/Oh! Lord of all, breathe freedom’s breath/That she may weep no more! – Bobby Sands Weeping Winds“

Here are some images of the exposed interior of the (old) Michael Dwyer’s GAA club on Grosvenor Road, Belfast, along with two (earlier) images of banners inside the club. The mural and first banner are of Ireland personified as a female with harp and wolfhound (and wearing green, white, and orange). The second banner is entitled “Who fears to speak of [17]98” (from the 1843 song) – Dwyer was also known as “The Wicklow Chieftain” for his exploits in the rebellion and the years following.
