This is part of the International Wall in Divis Street. On the left with the typewriter is Winifred Carney, secretary and aide to James Connolly. She was with him in the GPO in Dublin as a non-combatant during the Easter Rising and documented his words and what was happening. In the middle is Kieran Nugent, the first "blanketman" in the Maze Prison during the "no wash" campaign. IRA prisoners were protesting in order to be recognized as political prisoners, allowed to wear their own clothes and be housed separately from the other felons in the prison. Next to him is Mairead Farrell, one of the Gibraltar Three who were killed by British military forces in Gibraltar in 1988. On the right are Bobby Sands and the other nine prisoners who died in the hunger strike in the Maze Prison in 1981.
