The Clonard Street Martyrs are remembered in republican history as four young Volunteers of Óglaigh na hÉireann who gave their lives in active service in the heart of their own community, Clonard in West Belfast, on 9 March 1972. Their sacrifice is woven into a longer story of resistance, stretching from the pogroms of 1969 back to earlier struggles, and carried forward in the collective memory of the Clonard people.
