Statue of James Connolly, one of the primary participants in the Easter Rising of 1916, outside the Falls Community Council. The base reads: Trade union organiser, Socialist, Internationalist and one of the leaders of the Easter Rising in 1916. Connolly along with his family lived among the working people of Belfast and helped organise Catholics, Protestants and dissenters to fight together for the common class interests. Born in Edingurgh 5 June 1868, he was executed by firing squad in Kilmainham Gaol, Dublin, 12 May 1916, for his part in the Easter Rising.

Mural commemorating the centenary of the Easter Rising of 1916, located at the junction of Beechmount Avenue and the Falls Road. There's an additional street sign marking this as RPG Street due to the use of rocket-propelled grenades by the IRA in the area.

Another mural commemorating the women who participated in the Easter Rising of 1916. The main figure is Countess Constance Markievicz, who took part in the fighting in Dublin. She was captured and sentenced to death, but unlike Connolly and the others, her sentence was commuted on account of her gender. She was elected to the House of Commons in 1918 but, like other members of Sinn Fein, she did not take her seat in the Palace of Westminster. She was also the first woman in the world to hold a cabinet position (Minister for Labour of the Irish Republic, 1919–1922).
