The mural on the right hand side of this building has a black background, with an Irish flag and a soldier holding a machine gun. The mural reads on the "They may kill the revolutionary, but never the revolution"

Let me tell ya something. I've had enough of Irish-Americans who haven't been back to their country in 20 or 30 years, come up to me and talk about the resistance, the revolution back home...and the glory of the revolution and the glory of dying for the revolution. Fuck the revolution! They don't talk about the glory of killing for the revolution. Whats the glory...in takin a man from his bed and gunning him down in front of his wife and his children. Where's the glory in that? Where's the glory in bombing a remembrance day parade of old age pensioners, their medals taken out and polished up for the day? Where's the glory in that? To leave them dying or crippled for life or dead under the rubble...of a revolution... that the majority of people in my country don't want? No more! sing it, no more....no more....no more....no more..wipe your tears away......"
