Derry Monuments

This monument is deadicated to the men from Derry who died on hungerstrike in 1981.

This monment is dedicated to the IRA members who died from Derry in the struggle. It should be noted that not all names of the Derry dead can be found here.

This monument, which is on the graves of two hungerstrikers, Mickey Devine and Patsy O'Hara, is also dedicated to the memory of the ten hungerstrikers of 1981. This design was chosen because it represents the spirit of resistance shown by the revolutionary forces in Ireland during the past thirty years. This design is nothing new in Ireland. Examples of earlier statues of a similar nature are located in various areas of the country, including Ardee in County Louth where the statue there commemorates two members of the "old IRA".
