Smash The Wall Of Separation

More “patronising slogans” from the Cupar Way “peace” line. The artist was realistic enough to draw a security camera in the top left corner, keeping a eye on the people with peace and love balloons.

Front & Sides

The two derelict houses at the top of the Springfield Road have had a make-over, with a paint-job and fake windows showing curtains and lamps. As can be seen in the two images below, the sides remain the same, with the Ballymurphy Massacre on one side and the Mass Graves Of Ireland mural on the other. Here’s a “before” view on Google Maps.

Irish Republican History Museum

The Irish Republican History Museum in Conway Mill board has returned to the so-called “International Wall” after the 1916 commemorative murals. The board is new (though it conveys the same information as before) and the painting of the cell has been given some details.

The museum is named for Eileen Hickey, a Provisional IRA member who served time in Armagh prison (An Phoblacht obituary), a cell of which is depicted in the image above. Hickey’s portrait is included in a mural opposite the museum.

Turf Lodge

Here is another piece from the side of the Turf Lodge Tenants’ Association & Social Club (Fb), in a similar style to Choice. The boxer is a nod to Holy Trinity boxing club across the street.
