Red paint thrown at Niall O'Brollichain's constituency office



As reported by the Galway Independent.

"A Galway Senator has hit out at vandals who covered his new constituency office in red paint on Tuesday morning. The Salthill constituency office of Green Party Senator Niall O Brolchain, which was officially opened just a fortnight ago by Green Party leader John Gormley, is understood to have been subjected to the attack early yesterday morning.

Vandals left the Lower Salthill office, along with the pavement and a neighbouring apartment, daubed with 'blood red' paint.

Speaking to the Galway Independent in the aftermath of the attack Senator O Brolchain said the gardai have been informed, and that footage from a nearby CCTV camera is currently being examined in an attempt to establish the identity of the culprits."


This incident shows low the Green's have sunk in the eyes of the public. This would never have happened 3 years ago ... now no one is really surprised by this. In fact, I've heard a few people saying they are surprised it doesn't happen to more FF/Green TD's constituency offices.

Perhaps the most interesting thing about this story is the reaction it's likely to give rise to. There is already a comment from "Patsy" in the Galyay Indo article saying "Maybe this is justice for being granted an undeserved and unelected 100k per year job? "
