Broadway Defenders

“Broadway Defenders” was originally the name of LOL 824, which was based in what is now An Chultúrlann but was formerly Broadway Presbyterian church. (LOL 824 was included on the mural on the hoarding around Cultúrlann while it was be redeveloped – see the close-up below and for more see M06462.) But the graffiti above is probably from a CNR hand, given its location and the adjacent “KAH” (and previously “Erin Go Brach“) graffiti.

Forget The Past

“HET” was the “Historical Enquiries Team”, investigating unsolved killings from the Troubles. It lasted from 2005 to 2014 (WP). The graffiti in these images from Mount Vernon and the Shore Road, are perhaps specifically in connection with the investigation into the UVF unit in the area (BelTel) and the murder of Jim Harbinson (BelTel). “Forget the past – peace was delivered”, “HET go home”, “Gerry Adams ya peado [sic] – root da kids”.
