The Saoirse Freedom Mural
A mural dedicated to the memory of Irish hunger strikers. The mural features an intricate design with Celtic knotwork framing the central section, along with portraits of individuals at the top, who are likely the ten hunger strikers commemorated. The text within the mural includes a quote by Bobby Sands, a notable figure in Irish history, which reads:
"All things must come to pass as one
So hope should never die
There is no height or bloody might
That a freeman can’t defy.
There is no source or foreign force
Can break one man who knows,
That his free will no thing can kill
And from that freedom grows."
— Bobby Sands
Below this, a dedication reads:
"This is dedicated to the ten brave Irish hunger strikers who sacrificed their lives in 1981. Their cause is ours... freedom."
The word "SAOIRSE" (meaning "freedom" in Irish) is prominently displayed at the top, while the word "FREEDOM" is illustrated at the bottom within the decorative border. The mural honours the legacy and sacrifice of these individuals in a powerful way, using both imagery and text to emphasise themes of resilience and hope.
