Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RGHXAD - A wide view across the Bogside area of Derry / Londonderry, showing the cleared site of the former Bogside Inn, now an open and undeveloped plot within a dense residential neighbourhood. The empty ground contrasts with surrounding rows of terraced and social housing that climb the hillside beyond, highlighting patterns of demolition, change, and redevelopment within the inner city.

The Bogside is one of the most historically significant areas of Derry, closely associated with major events of the late twentieth century, including civil rights protests and the Troubles. Buildings such as the Bogside Inn formed part of the everyday social infrastructure of the area, and their removal reflects longer-term shifts in population, land use, and urban regeneration priorities.

Photographed in daylight under overcast skies, the image captures a transitional urban landscape where cleared land sits alongside established housing. The photograph is suitable for editorial and commercial uses illustrating urban regeneration, post-industrial and post-conflict cityscapes, housing policy, land reuse, and the physical legacy of social and political change in Northern Ireland.

Location: Bogside area, Derry / Londonderry, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland, BT48 (approximate district

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RGHXBK - The Irish National Liberation Army (INLA, Irish: Arm Saoirse Náisiúnta na hÉireann) is an Irish republican socialist paramilitary group formed on 10 December 1974, during the 30-year period of conflict known as the Troubles. The group seeks to remove Northern Ireland from the United Kingdom and create a socialist republic encompassing all of Ireland. With membership estimated at 80“100 at their peak, it is the paramilitary wing of the Irish Republican Socialist Party (IRSP).

The INLA was founded by former members of the Official Irish Republican Army who opposed that group's ceasefire. It was initially known as the People's Liberation Army or People's Republican Army. The INLA waged a paramilitary campaign against the British Army and Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) in Northern Ireland. It was also active to a lesser extent in the Republic of Ireland, Great Britain and mainland Europe. High-profile attacks carried out by the INLA include the Droppin Well bombing, the 1994 Shankill Road killings and the assassinations of Airey Neave in 1979 and Billy Wright in 1997. However, it was smaller and less active than the main republican paramilitary group, the Provisional IRA. It was also weakened by feuds and internal tensions. Members of the group used the covernames People's Liberation Army, People's Republican Army, and Catholic Reaction Force[8] for attacks its volunteers carried out but the INLA did not want to claim responsibility for. The INLA became a proscribed group in the United Kingdom on 3 July 1979 under the 1974 Prevention of Terrorism Act.

After a 24-year armed campaign, the INLA declared a ceasefire on 22 August 1998. In August 1999, it stated that There is no political or moral argument to justify a resumption of the campaign. In October 2009, the INLA formally vowed to pursue its aims through peaceful political means and began decommissioning its weapons.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2CB00BW - The River of Life project was developed in the aftermath of the 1993 IRA bomb in Warrington, which killed three-year-old Johnathan Ball and 12-year-old Tim Parry, and led to the death of Bronwen Vickers. It injured 54 others and affected many thousands of people. The international outrage was strongly expressed by mothers and in Dublin thousands gathered in downtown Dublin to express sorrow and revulsion over the deaths of the two children.

The new streetscape and integrated water feature entitled ˜The River of Life' was officially opened on 14th November 1996 by HRH The Duchess of Kent.

Colin and Wendy Parry were thrust into the public gaze and together with the NSPCC established a peace centre in Warrington. The Foundation for Peace and NSPCC joined forces to raise funds for the £3million Centre opened on 20th March 2000...the 7th anniversary of the IRA bomb.

Two bombs exploded on Bridge Street in Warrington about 100 yards apart on 20 March at about 12:25. The blasts happened within a minute of each other with the area crowded with shoppers on the Saturday before Mothering Sunday. Witnesses spoke of shoppers fleeing from the first explosion into the path of the second. It was later found that the bombs had been placed inside cast iron bins causing large amounts of shrapnel. It was a very personal attack on the people of Warrington - and the town needed to respond to it.

The City council asked to meet with me to discuss what form a memorial could take. It became clear that there were contrasting schools of thought with some looking to put it firmly in the past particularly as at the time the economic viability of the town was being threatened, and others who could imagine what I worried as being an overly personal memorial, which may not easily stand the test of time.

My feeling was that the street was not just physically broken but spiritually

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M84J72 - Saoradh
Saoradh are a Revolutionary Republican Party, organised across Ireland. Founded on the 24th September 2016 following a significant collective of Irish Republican activists, who for a number of years acted autonomously, after a number of years of debate, consultation and organisation, constituted and launched a Revolutionary Irish Republican Party.



Saoradh seek the establishment of a 32 County Socialist Republic free from British rule.



Saoradh aim to build campaigns to fight back against imperialism and capitalism to empower the Irish people in the ongoing struggle to regain our national sovereignty, end partition and build a new fair society.



Saoradh believes that Ireland should be governed by the Irish People with the wealth and wealth producing mechanisms in the ownership of the Irish people. This can not happen while British imperialism undemocratically retains control of Irish destinies and partitions our nation. This cannot happen while a neo-colonial elite in a subservient supposed indigenous administration sells the nations labour and natural resources to national.htm Target=_Blank>international capital.



Saoradh does not believe that British imperialism or capitalist exploitation can be confronted in the structures they have created to consolidate their undemocratic control of the Irish nation. As such Saoradh believe any assembly claiming to speak for the Irish people without being elected by the united people of the Irish nation to be illegal.



Saoradh will seek to organise and work with the Irish people rather than be consumed and usurped by the structures of Ireland's enemies, standing on a long and proud revolutionary Irish Republican history of resistance
inspired by the actions and words of Tone of Connolly, of Mellows, of Costello and of Sands .

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEW1HD - Murals in Northern Ireland have become symbols of Northern Ireland, depicting the region's past and present political and religious divisions.

Belfast and Derry contain arguably the most famous political murals in Europe. It is believed that almost 2,000 murals have been documented since the 1970s. In 2014, the book, The Belfast Mural Guide estimated that, in Belfast, there were approximately 300 quality murals on display, with many more in varying degrees of age and decay. Murals commemorate, communicate and display aspects of culture and history. The themes of murals often reflect what is important to a particular community. A mural therefore exists to express an idea or message and could generally be seen as reflecting values held dear to that community.

In Irish republican areas the themes of murals can range from the 1981 Irish hunger strike, with particular emphasis on strike leader Bobby Sands
murals of international solidarity with revolutionary groups are equally common, as are those which highlight a particular issue, for example the Ballymurphy Massacre or the McGurk's Bar bombing. In working class unionist communities, murals are used to promote Ulster loyalist paramilitary groups such as the Ulster Defence Association and Ulster Volunteer Force and commemorate their deceased members. However traditional themes such as William III of England and the Battle of the Boyne, the Battle of the Somme and the 36th Ulster Division are equally common

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEW1D4 - Gable-end Republican memorial mural on Divismore Way in Ballymurphy, West Belfast, showing three figures, the Irish tricolour and republican shield symbols painted across the side wall of a housing estate property. The mural is identified by CAIN as the IRA Mural and Plaque on Divismore Way, at the junction of Divismore Way and Springfield Road, commemorating Bobby McCrudden, Mundo O'Rawe and Pearse Jordan. The visible inscription is a memorial dedication and includes the line asking passers-by to pause, pray and smile, giving the wall painting a commemorative and community remembrance function rather than simply decorative street art. This image has editorial value for themes including Belfast murals, West Belfast, Ballymurphy, political murals, Republican mural art, The Troubles, conflict memory, contested heritage, community identity, public art, Irish republican symbolism, housing estate culture and Northern Ireland history. The mural sits on a residential gable end behind a timber fence, with grass, weeds, houses and a cloudy sky placing it in an everyday neighbourhood landscape rather than a formal memorial site. That setting matters because many Belfast political murals are embedded in lived residential streets, where public memory, local identity, political messaging and tourism overlap. The photograph is useful for articles on mural tours, post-conflict Belfast, visual culture, memorialisation, community commemoration, urban history and the role of walls and public space in telling the story of the Troubles. It also suits critical coverage of how paramilitary, Republican and Loyalist imagery remains visible in parts of Belfast, and how such murals can be read as heritage, political statement, memorial and tourist attraction depending on viewer and context. The overcast daylight, housing estate background and clear gable composition make the image a valuable documentary record of West Belfast political street art and commemorative mural culture.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEW1FB - Murals in Northern Ireland have become symbols of Northern Ireland, depicting the region's past and present political and religious divisions.

Belfast and Derry contain arguably the most famous political murals in Europe. It is believed that almost 2,000 murals have been documented since the 1970s. In 2014, the book, The Belfast Mural Guide estimated that, in Belfast, there were approximately 300 quality murals on display, with many more in varying degrees of age and decay. Murals commemorate, communicate and display aspects of culture and history. The themes of murals often reflect what is important to a particular community. A mural therefore exists to express an idea or message and could generally be seen as reflecting values held dear to that community.

In Irish republican areas the themes of murals can range from the 1981 Irish hunger strike, with particular emphasis on strike leader Bobby Sands
murals of international solidarity with revolutionary groups are equally common, as are those which highlight a particular issue, for example the Ballymurphy Massacre or the McGurk's Bar bombing. In working class unionist communities, murals are used to promote Ulster loyalist paramilitary groups such as the Ulster Defence Association and Ulster Volunteer Force and commemorate their deceased members. However traditional themes such as William III of England and the Battle of the Boyne, the Battle of the Somme and the 36th Ulster Division are equally common

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HDF065 - Murals in Northern Ireland have become symbols of Northern Ireland, depicting the region's past and present political and religious divisions.

Belfast and Derry contain arguably the most famous political murals in Europe. It is believed that almost 2,000 murals have been documented since the 1970s. In 2014, the book, The Belfast Mural Guide estimated that, in Belfast, there were approximately 300 quality murals on display, with many more in varying degrees of age and decay. Murals commemorate, communicate and display aspects of culture and history. The themes of murals often reflect what is important to a particular community. A mural therefore exists to express an idea or message and could generally be seen as reflecting values held dear to that community.

In Irish republican areas the themes of murals can range from the 1981 Irish hunger strike, with particular emphasis on strike leader Bobby Sands
murals of international solidarity with revolutionary groups are equally common, as are those which highlight a particular issue, for example the Ballymurphy Massacre or the McGurk's Bar bombing. In working class unionist communities, murals are used to promote Ulster loyalist paramilitary groups such as the Ulster Defence Association and Ulster Volunteer Force and commemorate their deceased members. However traditional themes such as William III of England and the Battle of the Boyne, the Battle of the Somme and the 36th Ulster Division are equally common

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HDF0AB - Murals in Northern Ireland have become symbols of Northern Ireland, depicting the region's past and present political and religious divisions.

Belfast and Derry contain arguably the most famous political murals in Europe. It is believed that almost 2,000 murals have been documented since the 1970s. In 2014, the book, The Belfast Mural Guide estimated that, in Belfast, there were approximately 300 quality murals on display, with many more in varying degrees of age and decay. Murals commemorate, communicate and display aspects of culture and history. The themes of murals often reflect what is important to a particular community. A mural therefore exists to express an idea or message and could generally be seen as reflecting values held dear to that community.

In Irish republican areas the themes of murals can range from the 1981 Irish hunger strike, with particular emphasis on strike leader Bobby Sands
murals of international solidarity with revolutionary groups are equally common, as are those which highlight a particular issue, for example the Ballymurphy Massacre or the McGurk's Bar bombing. In working class unionist communities, murals are used to promote Ulster loyalist paramilitary groups such as the Ulster Defence Association and Ulster Volunteer Force and commemorate their deceased members. However traditional themes such as William III of England and the Battle of the Boyne, the Battle of the Somme and the 36th Ulster Division are equally common

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HDKW91 - Murals in Northern Ireland have become symbols of Northern Ireland, depicting the region's past and present political and religious divisions.

Belfast and Derry contain arguably the most famous political murals in Europe. It is believed that almost 2,000 murals have been documented since the 1970s. In 2014, the book, The Belfast Mural Guide estimated that, in Belfast, there were approximately 300 quality murals on display, with many more in varying degrees of age and decay. Murals commemorate, communicate and display aspects of culture and history. The themes of murals often reflect what is important to a particular community. A mural therefore exists to express an idea or message and could generally be seen as reflecting values held dear to that community.

In Irish republican areas the themes of murals can range from the 1981 Irish hunger strike, with particular emphasis on strike leader Bobby Sands
murals of international solidarity with revolutionary groups are equally common, as are those which highlight a particular issue, for example the Ballymurphy Massacre or the McGurk's Bar bombing. In working class unionist communities, murals are used to promote Ulster loyalist paramilitary groups such as the Ulster Defence Association and Ulster Volunteer Force and commemorate their deceased members. However traditional themes such as William III of England and the Battle of the Boyne, the Battle of the Somme and the 36th Ulster Division are equally common

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HDKY8X - The national flag of Ireland (Irish: bratach na hÉireann) “ frequently referred to as the Irish tricolour (trídhathach na hÉireann) “ is a vertical tricolour of green (at the hoist), white, and orange.[1][2]

The proportions of the flag are 1:2 (that is to say that, as flown horizontally, the flag is half as high as it is wide). The Irish government has described the symbolism behind each colour as being that green represents the older Gaelic tradition while the orange represents the supporters of William of Orange. The white in the centre signifies a lasting truce between the 'Orange' and the 'Green'

In 2014, the book, The Belfast Mural Guide estimated that, in Belfast, there were approximately 300 quality murals on display, with many more in varying degrees of age and decay. Murals commemorate, communicate and display aspects of culture and history. The themes of murals often reflect what is important to a particular community. A mural therefore exists to express an idea or message and could generally be seen as reflecting values held dear to that community.

In Irish republican areas the themes of murals can range from the 1981 Irish hunger strike, with particular emphasis on strike leader Bobby Sands
murals of international solidarity with revolutionary groups are equally common, as are those which highlight a particular issue, for example the Ballymurphy Massacre or the McGurk's Bar bombing. In working class unionist communities, murals are used to promote Ulster loyalist paramilitary groups such as the Ulster Defence Association and Ulster Volunteer Force and commemorate their deceased members. However traditional themes such as William III of England and the Battle of the Boyne, the Battle of the Somme and the 36th Ulster Division are equally common

In Irish republican areas the themes of murals can range from the 1981 Irish hunger strike, with particular emphasis on strike leader Bobby Sands
murals of international solidarity with revolutionary groups are equally common, as are those which highlight a particular issue, for example the Ballymurphy Massacre or the McGurk's Bar bombing. In working class unionist communities, murals are used to promote Ulster loyalist paramilitary groups such as the Ulster Defence Association and Ulster Volunteer Force and commemorate their deceased members. However traditional themes such as William III of England and the Battle of the Boyne, the Battle of the Somme and the 36th Ulster Division are equally common

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HDWT7R - Murals in Northern Ireland have become symbols of Northern Ireland, depicting the region's past and present political and religious divisions.

Belfast and Derry contain arguably the most famous political murals in Europe. It is believed that almost 2,000 murals have been documented since the 1970s. In 2014, the book, The Belfast Mural Guide estimated that, in Belfast, there were approximately 300 quality murals on display, with many more in varying degrees of age and decay. Murals commemorate, communicate and display aspects of culture and history. The themes of murals often reflect what is important to a particular community. A mural therefore exists to express an idea or message and could generally be seen as reflecting values held dear to that community.

In Irish republican areas the themes of murals can range from the 1981 Irish hunger strike, with particular emphasis on strike leader Bobby Sands
murals of international solidarity with revolutionary groups are equally common, as are those which highlight a particular issue, for example the Ballymurphy Massacre or the McGurk's Bar bombing. In working class unionist communities, murals are used to promote Ulster loyalist paramilitary groups such as the Ulster Defence Association and Ulster Volunteer Force and commemorate their deceased members. However traditional themes such as William III of England and the Battle of the Boyne, the Battle of the Somme and the 36th Ulster Division are equally common

Sean McGuire (26 December 1927 “ 24 March 2005) was a former All Ireland fiddle champion. He was from Belfast.

McGuire was only fourteen when his violin playing was broadcast for the first time on BBC radio. In 1949 at the age of only twenty-one, he won the Oireachtas (pronounced err-OCTH-us), the All-Ireland musical championship held annually in Dublin) with the only perfect score ever awarded in the long history of the competition. In the 1950s, he became part of a major touring group called the Malachy Sweeney Ceili Band
later he helped form the Sean McGuire Ceili Band and the Four Star Quartet.[1] Through the 1960s he was a leading member of the Gael-Linn Cabaret.

In the days before the Chieftains assumed the role, McGuire sometimes served as Irish musics cultural ambassador. He has appeared throughout Europe, and he has been named Grande Artiste of the Soviet Union. When he toured the US in 1952, he was asked to appear on such classic American variety programs as The Ed Sullivan Show and The Arthur Godfrey Show. He was also honoured by the Wurlitzer Co. of New York City, who not only invited him to play the Stradivarius and Guarnerius violins in their possession, but also to enter his name (alongside those of Fritz Kreisler and Yehudi Menuhin) in their golden book of master violinists.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HDWTET - Murals in Northern Ireland have become symbols of Northern Ireland, depicting the region's past and present political and religious divisions.

Belfast and Derry contain arguably the most famous political murals in Europe. It is believed that almost 2,000 murals have been documented since the 1970s. In 2014, the book, The Belfast Mural Guide estimated that, in Belfast, there were approximately 300 quality murals on display, with many more in varying degrees of age and decay. Murals commemorate, communicate and display aspects of culture and history. The themes of murals often reflect what is important to a particular community. A mural therefore exists to express an idea or message and could generally be seen as reflecting values held dear to that community.

In Irish republican areas the themes of murals can range from the 1981 Irish hunger strike, with particular emphasis on strike leader Bobby Sands
murals of international solidarity with revolutionary groups are equally common, as are those which highlight a particular issue, for example the Ballymurphy Massacre or the McGurk's Bar bombing. In working class unionist communities, murals are used to promote Ulster loyalist paramilitary groups such as the Ulster Defence Association and Ulster Volunteer Force and commemorate their deceased members. However traditional themes such as William III of England and the Battle of the Boyne, the Battle of the Somme and the 36th Ulster Division are equally common

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HDWTFT - James Connolly (Irish: Séamas Ó Conghaile
5 June 1868 “ 12 May 1916) was an Irish republican and socialist leader, aligned to syndicalism and the Industrial Workers of the World.

He was born in the Cowgate area of Edinburgh, Scotland, to Irish-born parents. He left school for working life at the age of 11, but became one of the leading Marxist theorists of his day. He also took a role in Scottish and American politics. He was executed by a British firing squad because of his leadership role in the Easter Rising of 1916.

in 1910 he was right-hand man to fellow-syndicalist James Larkin in the Irish Transport and General Workers Union. He stood twice for the Wood Quay ward of Dublin Corporation but was unsuccessful. His name, and those of his family, appears in the 1911 Census of Ireland - his occupation is listed as National Organiser Socialist Party

In 1913, in response to the Lockout, he, along with an ex-British officer, Jack White, founded the Irish Citizen Army (ICA), an armed and well-trained body of labour men whose aim was to defend workers and strikers, particularly from the frequent brutality of the Dublin Metropolitan Police. Though they only numbered about 250 at most, their goal soon became the establishment of an independent and socialist Irish nation. He also founded the Irish Labour Party as the political wing of the Irish Trade Union Congress in 1912 and was a member of its National Executive. Around this time he met Winifred Carney in Belfast, who became his secretary and would later accompany him during the Easter Rising.

Connolly was sentenced to death by firing squad for his part in the rising. On 12 May 1916 he was taken by military ambulance to Royal Hospital Kilmainham, across the road from Kilmainham Gaol, and from there taken to the gaol, where he was to be executed. Visited by his wife, and asking about public opinion, he commented, They will all forget that I am an Irishman

In working class unionist communities, murals are used to promote Ulster loyalist paramilitary groups such as the Ulster Defence Association and Ulster Volunteer Force and commemorate their deceased members. However traditional themes such as William III of England and the Battle of the Boyne, the Battle of the Somme and the 36th Ulster Division are equally common

Belfast and Derry contain arguably the most famous political murals in Europe. It is believed that almost 2,000 murals have been documented since the 1970s. In 2014, the book, The Belfast Mural Guide estimated that, in Belfast, there were approximately 300 quality murals on display, with many more in varying degrees of age and decay. Murals commemorate, communicate and display aspects of culture and history. The themes of murals often reflect what is important to a particular community. A mural therefore exists to express an idea or message and could generally be seen as reflecting values held dear to that community.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEEF7J - Irish republican political mural on the Falls Road in West Belfast commemorates prisoners involved in the 1980 hunger strike and the campaign demanding prisoner-of-war status. The central slogan reads We Demand POW Status Now , while painted portraits, newspaper imagery, prison references and historical text combine to present the protest as part of a wider story of republican resistance, imprisonment and political identity.

Across the top of the mural, lettering refers to prisoners enduring years of brutality, humiliation and degradation and records the commencement of the hunger strike on 27 October 1980. The artwork recalls the first republican hunger strike at HM Prison Maze, also widely known as Long Kesh, during which prisoners protested over prison conditions and the removal of Special Category Status. Their demands concerned matters such as prison clothing, prison work, association, visits and recognition of their political motivation.

The composition uses strong reds, greens, blacks and whites against a painted brick background. Several figures are shown holding newspapers, photographs and campaign material, while a large female portrait occupies the right-hand side. Barbed and razor wire above the wall reinforce themes of incarceration, security and conflict. The adjacent information panel for the Irish Republican History Museum places the mural within a broader local presentation of republican history and memory.

Murals have long formed a distinctive part of Belfast's visual landscape, particularly in working-class neighbourhoods affected by the Troubles. They may act as memorials, political statements, historical narratives, expressions of community identity or attractions within conflict-heritage tourism. Their interpretation can vary considerably according to political background, personal experience and differing understandings of Northern Ireland's recent history.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEEF7Y - Murals in Northern Ireland have become symbols of Northern Ireland, depicting the region's past and present political and religious divisions.

Belfast and Derry contain arguably the most famous political murals in Europe. It is believed that almost 2,000 murals have been documented since the 1970s. In 2014, the book, The Belfast Mural Guide estimated that, in Belfast, there were approximately 300 quality murals on display, with many more in varying degrees of age and decay. Murals commemorate, communicate and display aspects of culture and history. The themes of murals often reflect what is important to a particular community. A mural therefore exists to express an idea or message and could generally be seen as reflecting values held dear to that community.

In Irish republican areas the themes of murals can range from the 1981 Irish hunger strike, with particular emphasis on strike leader Bobby Sands
murals of international solidarity with revolutionary groups are equally common, as are those which highlight a particular issue, for example the Ballymurphy Massacre or the McGurk's Bar bombing. In working class unionist communities, murals are used to promote Ulster loyalist paramilitary groups such as the Ulster Defence Association and Ulster Volunteer Force and commemorate their deceased members. However traditional themes such as William III of England and the Battle of the Boyne, the Battle of the Somme and the 36th Ulster Division are equally common

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 3812467275 - 'A counciller at work in meeting room at Warrington Peace Centre, Cheshire UK.

On 20 March 1993, the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) detonated two bombs in Warrington town centre. The blasts killed two children: three year old Jonathan Ball died instantly, and twelve year old Tim Parry died five days later in hospital. Around 56 other people were injured - 4 seriously. Their deaths provoked widespread condemnation of the organisation responsible. The blast followed a failed bomb attack a few weeks earlier on a gas storage plant in Warrington.

Tim Parry's father Colin Parry founded The Peace Centre (formerly the Tim Parry Jonathan Ball Peace Centre) as part of a campaign to reconcile communities in conflict. The centre opened on the seventh anniversary of the bombing in 2000.
He and his family still live in Warrington.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HDWTNN - Large republican mural commemorating Cumann na mBan fills the gable wall of a building at the corner of Beechmount Avenue and the Falls Road in West Belfast. The artwork combines portraits, historical photography, Irish-language text and nationalist symbolism to celebrate the contribution of women to the Irish revolutionary movement. A bilingual street sign reading Beechmount Avenue and Ascaill Ard na bhFeá appears above the painted scene.

The dominant portrait on the left depicts Countess Constance Markievicz wearing a green military-style uniform. Across the centre, a formation of Cumann na mBan members marches forward in period dress, while an armed and partly veiled female figure stands at the right. The group's emblem is represented by the abbreviated lettering C na mB incorporated into the outline of a rifle. A Celtic interlace pattern frames the upper and side edges of the blue composition.

The words Céad Bliain , meaning one hundred years, refer to the centenary of Cumann na mBan, founded in Dublin on 2 April 1914. The organisation worked alongside the Irish Volunteers and its members participated in the 1916 Easter Rising as couriers, nurses, intelligence gatherers and combatants. Markievicz served with the Irish Citizen Army during the Rising and was stationed around St Stephen's Green in Dublin.

Painted in 2014, the mural replaced an earlier Fianna Éireann centenary image that also featured Markievicz. The Irish inscription along the bottom reads Ní saoirse go saoirse na mban , commonly translated as There is no freedom until the freedom of women . It links the republican commemoration with a broader statement about women's liberation and political equality. Photograph records one of the many political murals associated with the Falls Road and West Belfast. Such artwork forms part of the area's visible historical landscape, presenting local interpretations of conflict, resistance, identity and remembrance on prominent public walls.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEW1H9 - Gable-end Republican stock-photo/gotonysmith-Mural.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>mural on Whiterock Road in Ballymurphy, West Belfast, depicting the 1916 Easter Rising with armed figures outside the General Post Office in Dublin, an Irish tricolour and Celtic border decoration. The mural is recorded by CAIN as a Nationalist and Republican mural with the wording Freedom fighters outside the GPO. Easter Rising 1916 , showing Pearse, Connolly and Countess Markievicz leading the attack on the GPO below the Irish tricolour. Extramural Activity also identifies the scene as Countess Markievicz outside the Dublin GPO, accompanied by Connolly and Pearse, and places it on Whiterock Road, west Belfast. The photograph has strong editorial value for themes including Belfast murals, West Belfast, Ballymurphy, Irish Republican visual culture, the Easter Rising, political murals, public art, housing estate identity, conflict memory, Irish nationalism, post-conflict tourism and the use of gable walls as sites of historical storytelling. The hillside behind the houses, likely part of the Belfast Hills and Black Mountain backdrop, helps place the mural within the elevated west Belfast landscape rather than a flat city centre street. The overcast sky, timber fence, grass verge and residential setting show how political imagery is embedded in everyday neighbourhood space, where memorial, identity, heritage, tourism and contested history overlap. The mural connects Belfast's Republican mural tradition with the wider story of the 1916 Rising in Dublin, when the GPO became one of the symbolic centres of the rebellion. Its painted references to the tricolour, volunteers and the neoclassical GPO make it useful for stock searches around Irish independence, commemoration, political identity and public memory. It suits articles on mural tours, Irish history, Northern Ireland politics, Troubles legacy, nationalist commemoration, documentary photography, community art, cultural memory and political symbolism.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HDPKXC - Murals in Northern Ireland have become symbols of Northern Ireland, depicting the region's past and present political and religious divisions.

Belfast and Derry contain arguably the most famous political murals in Europe. It is believed that almost 2,000 murals have been documented since the 1970s. In 2014, the book, The Belfast Mural Guide estimated that, in Belfast, there were approximately 300 quality murals on display, with many more in varying degrees of age and decay. Murals commemorate, communicate and display aspects of culture and history. The themes of murals often reflect what is important to a particular community. A mural therefore exists to express an idea or message and could generally be seen as reflecting values held dear to that community.

In Irish republican areas the themes of murals can range from the 1981 Irish hunger strike, with particular emphasis on strike leader Bobby Sands
murals of international solidarity with revolutionary groups are equally common, as are those which highlight a particular issue, for example the Ballymurphy Massacre or the McGurk's Bar bombing. In working class unionist communities, murals are used to promote Ulster loyalist paramilitary groups such as the Ulster Defence Association and Ulster Volunteer Force and commemorate their deceased members. However traditional themes such as William III of England and the Battle of the Boyne, the Battle of the Somme and the 36th Ulster Division are equally common

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HDWTG8 - James Connolly (Irish: Séamas Ó Conghaile
5 June 1868 “ 12 May 1916) was an Irish republican and socialist leader, aligned to syndicalism and the Industrial Workers of the World.

He was born in the Cowgate area of Edinburgh, Scotland, to Irish-born parents. He left school for working life at the age of 11, but became one of the leading Marxist theorists of his day. He also took a role in Scottish and American politics. He was executed by a British firing squad because of his leadership role in the Easter Rising of 1916.

in 1910 he was right-hand man to fellow-syndicalist James Larkin in the Irish Transport and General Workers Union. He stood twice for the Wood Quay ward of Dublin Corporation but was unsuccessful. His name, and those of his family, appears in the 1911 Census of Ireland - his occupation is listed as National Organiser Socialist Party

In 1913, in response to the Lockout, he, along with an ex-British officer, Jack White, founded the Irish Citizen Army (ICA), an armed and well-trained body of labour men whose aim was to defend workers and strikers, particularly from the frequent brutality of the Dublin Metropolitan Police. Though they only numbered about 250 at most, their goal soon became the establishment of an independent and socialist Irish nation. He also founded the Irish Labour Party as the political wing of the Irish Trade Union Congress in 1912 and was a member of its National Executive. Around this time he met Winifred Carney in Belfast, who became his secretary and would later accompany him during the Easter Rising.

Connolly was sentenced to death by firing squad for his part in the rising. On 12 May 1916 he was taken by military ambulance to Royal Hospital Kilmainham, across the road from Kilmainham Gaol, and from there taken to the gaol, where he was to be executed. Visited by his wife, and asking about public opinion, he commented, They will all forget that I am an Irishman
