Anti-war campaigners are understood to be behind the daubing of slogans on the Limerick constituency office of junior Justice Minister Willie O'Dea. The words 'No Bush, No War' were painted in blue on the outside of the building in the early hours of today. Gardai at Mary Street in Limerick are conducting house to house inquiries following the vandalism.

"Gardai at Mary Street in Limerick are conducting house to house inquiries following the vandalism."

Amazing that the Gardai can prioritise something like this given the murder rate in Limerick.

Graffiti in Irish Culture

On a recent tour of Kilmainham Jail I noticed that the jail cells and room of famous Irish historical people were all locked up safely. When I enquired to our tour guide why this was so, the passionate and informative gentleman told me that these cells contain political graffiti from key figures involved in the 1916 Rising and beyond, and that it has to be protected. So, in a historical context, it appears that the Irish have always used graffiti in political causes. The North of Ireland – a case in point.

Is today’s graffiti just a continuation of a long held tradition in Irish culture? Like it or Lump it – political graffiti is and always will be part of our culture.
