Justice Minister McDowell: “It seems to be spreading everywhere”
Green Party T.D. John Gormley has called for sweeping measures to stop the “serious problem” of graffiti. Namely:
“If you want to know what is actually occurring inside, underneath, at the center, at any given moment, art is a truer guide than politics, more often than not.” - Percy Windham Lewis (1884-1957)
Deputy Gormley also asked “why have we seen an upsurge in graffiti throughout Dublin? We cannot afford to underestimate the extent of this problem.” In response to Mr. Gormley, Justice Minister Mr. McDowell (standing in for his colleague the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Deputy Roche) replied, “The constituency Deputy Gormley and I share has been under sustained attack in recent times. It seems to be spreading everywhere.” He also went on to say “Somebody, on doing a little research, should be able to track down where the major sales of spray paint are taking place and to whom it is being sold.” Transcription of Dail Eireann Speech on Graffiti (8 Jun 2006) http://www.greenparty.ie/en/in_the_dail/speeches/8_jun_...ffiti
