Divis

The Falls Road and its Republican murals and West Belfast has a significant history associated with the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA), particularly during the Northern Ireland conflict known as The Troubles (late 1960s–1998). The Falls Road area has long been a stronghold of Irish republicanism and nationalist sentiment, making it central to the activities and influence of the PIRA. Below is an overview of its historical significance: The Falls Road is a predominantly Catholic and nationalist area in Belfast. During the early 20th century, it became a hub for Irish republican political and cultural activity, advocating for Irish independence from British rule. Socioeconomic deprivation and sectarian divisions characterized life on the Falls Road, exacerbating tensions with nearby Protestant and loyalist, such as the Shankill Road. The Provisional IRA was formed in 1969 following a split in the Irish Republican Army (IRA)

this is a must do tour when travelling to Belfast. We went with Brendan and what he didn't know about the troubles wasn't worth knowing. He grew up as a child throughout this time, so gave amazing insight to what went on. We learned so much more than we ever knew!
Interesting.
