This is a politically charged mural or poster that appears to highlight and critique violence during The Troubles in Northern Ireland, specifically associating these events with the Irish Republican Army (IRA) and Sinn Féin. The mural uses a combination of strong language, imagery, and statistics to convey its message.

Headline: At the top, the text asks, "Is this the EQUALITY SINN FÉIN / IRA asks for?", followed by the phrases:
"No Economic targets"
"No Enquiries"
"No Legitimate Targets"
"No Truth"
"No Justice"
Content Layout: Below the headline, the mural displays a grid of 12 labeled images, each representing a specific event associated with violent acts during The Troubles.

Each event has:
A title and date.
A brief description of the casualties (e.g., the number of people murdered and injured).
A poppy emblem, traditionally a symbol of remembrance.
Events Listed (Examples):

Shankill (23rd October 1993): 9 murdered, 57 injured.
Enniskillen (8th November 1987): 12 murdered, 63 injured.
Bloody Friday (21st July 1972): 9 murdered, 130 injured.
La Mon (17th February 1978): 12 murdered, 30 injured.
Footer: The bottom of the mural includes text commemorating the victims:
"In memory of all the innocent murdered in our country in support of the Sinn Féin Electorate. Mentioned here who were murdered going about their daily lives, at work, at prayer, and in remembrance. Nothing was sacred in the futile quest for a united Ireland."

The mural is clearly intended as a memorial and a critique, reflecting deep divisions and the lasting impact of The Troubles on communities in Northern Ireland. The use of imagery, statistics, and emotive language serves to underline its strong message.
