Thu 07 Jul 2009Vandals deface memorial statue of republican leader Seán Russell
A MEMORIAL statue of republican leader Seán Russell, which was erected in Fairview Park Dublin just over a week ago, has been defaced by graffiti proclaiming him to have been a nazi.
The bronze statue had been erected to replace a stone one which had been beheaded four years ago by vandals claiming to be part of an anti-fascist organisation. The new statue was discovered yesterday morning to have been sprayed with slogans such as “nazi scum”.
