CONCERN OVER VANDALISM TO INVERIN SIGNAGE

Date Published: 26-Sep-2012

Conerns have been raised over the motivation behind recent paint attacks on signage in the Inverin area.

A number of English and bilingual signs have been targetted by vandals who paint over the English in black.

Two such information signs were erected by local firm Socos Teo in the mid August timeframe and were found to be daubed with paint on the night of the All Ireland Hurling Final on September 9th.

It's understood up to 15 other signs from local firms have also been defaced in subsequent weeks.

Liam Ó Cualáin of Socos Teo says the signs are simply erected to allow customers to find local businesses in Connemara and such action is completely uncalled for.
