Day 2: Mural of Bobby Sands, Belfast

This mural is on the side of the Sinn Fein headquarters and is a really fascinating sight. Terry takes a couple of minutes here to discuss Sands and what he meant to Irish Republicans. At about 1:40 or so, Terry relates his personal experiences during "The Troubles." He too was incarcerated, and he mentions that Sands enabled his family to receive some form of sustenance while he was away. Terry also told us that, unlike Sands, he wasn't a member of the IRA.
