There is a new commercial piece on the exterior of McMahon’s bar in Sailortown. The image above is one of three panels (wide shot of the whole below), showing the nearby St. Joseph’s church (along with the tin man from the Wizard Of Oz and the Guinness toucan by John Gilmour).
The third image below is of St. Joseph’s, now flanked by the Granary building (the Clow building) and the Merchant building. the sculpture of the rescuing angel in the foreground is by Maurice Harron, the artist who did the ‘Outreach’ sculpture in London-/Derry/Doire, featured previously in a mural on the Abercorn bar.

Above is a new (2013-06) mural on Ballymurphy Road painted by a local artist with the assistance of local youths, who suggested the song and insisted on the praying hands (at the extreme right, and in the image below). The mural features a smartphone (and a set of Beats headphones) showing the number for the 24/7 suicide help-line. The song, You’ll Never Walk Alone, is from the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical Carousel, but is know to people in GB and Ireland as the anthem of Liverpool football fans, who adopted it from the 1963 version by Gerry & The Pacemakers.
You’ll Never Walk Alone
When you walk thru’ a storm, hold your head up high, and don’t be afraid of the dark.
At the end of the storm lies a golden sky and the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart!

“Che” Guevara’s father, also called Ernesto Guevara Lynch, was an Argentinian descended from Patrick Lynch, who emigrated from Galway (in 1742?) and married in Buenos Aries in 1749. (Based on these rodovid pages: one | two | three.) Che’s father is the source of the quote at the bottom of the mural: “In my son’s veins flowed the blood of Irish rebels.”
The Irish inscription, “Thocfadh [Thıocfadh] an réabhlóıdeach a mharú ach ní an réabhlóıd a scríosadh [scrıosadh]”, means (roughly) “It’s possible to kill the revolutionary person but not to destroy the revolution.”
This mural is on Fahan Street in the Bogside, Derry/Doıre.

This board in the Bogside is for “International Women’s Day, 8th March 2013 – Battling On: From petrol bombs to yarn bombs.” The woman in the painting – in the style of Banksy’s Flower Thrower (also imitated in Bundoran Banksy) – seems to have a petrol bomb rather than a yarn bomb.
Here is the board for 2011 International Women’s Day, on the wall next to this one.

Below is a close-up of the information board on Seamus Bradley, a 19 year-old IRA member who was killed during Operation Motorman, the British Army’s retaking of ‘Free Derry’ on July 31st, 1972. Bradley was found to be unarmed and bled to death while in British custody (according to the Pat Finucane Centre). The letter in the display case is addressed to Bradley’s brother, Daniel, from the MoD, and concludes “I regret to inform you … that there is nothing in the circumstances of his death, as detailed in the [Historical Enquiries Team] report, which would make it appropriate for the Government to apologise.”
The plaque is to Patrick Shiels (M03583).
