… And Short Strand Too!
This is a two-part electoral mural from Sınn Féın: on the left, the mural is for the specific candidacy of local man Nıall Ó Donghaılle – he was successfully elected to Belfast City Council and served as Lord Mayor; on the right, for Sınn Féın generally, using words from (the song) On The One Road (here’s a Wolfe Tones rendition): “Dublin, Belfast, Cork and Donegal” … and Short Strand too!

Honour Ireland’s Dead
“Wear an Easter lily – i gcuimhne ar an stailc ocrais.” The title phrase and the lily are typically used in calls to remember the rebels of 1916 (see e.g. the mural this one replaces) but here it is (also) employed to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the 1981 hunger strike. The lark is a symbol of political prisoners, the green ribbon was used in the campaign to free them as part of the Agreement; the watchtowers of Long Kesh/Maze are shown.
