BREAKING: An arrest has been made over vandalism at The George

by

We were pretty shocked to the iconic LGBT bar The George vandalised this weekend.

And now, man in his 20s has been arrested for defacing the bar with homophobic slurs.

As well as the homophobic slurs, Nazi symbols were also written in chalk on the walls of The George yesterday morning.

Gardaí picked up a man over the graffiti earlier today.

He's being held at Pearse Street Garda Station under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act.

According to the No Hate Speech Ireland group, the incident could be treated 'as homophobic in it's intent' under the Incitement to Hatred Act 1989.
