Condemnation after 'No Gay, No Irish’ graffiti daubed in Lurgan's Mourneview area
The Alliance representative condemned those behind the graffiti and asked for anyone who knows who was responsible to contact police.
"Lurgan is an inclusive, welcoming town that is looking to the future. Those spray painting these homophobic and anti-Irish statements do not represent the vast majority of people here, and I condemn them and their actions entirely.

It is particularly concerning that some of this offensive graffiti has been painted beside a busy walking route in the vicinity of a primary school,” he said.
"I have asked for the graffiti to be removed and I urge anyone with information to contact police with it immediately.”
