    This has been going on down in Waterford for the best part of 12 years.

    Yes, AFAIK it's a throw off from the rave scene. I remember seen it everywhere in Waterford. In both the city and countryside. On walls, foot paths, gates etc.

    A work colleague of mind had one sprayed on his newly paved driveway. He called the gardaí, they told him that they knew who was behind it but didn't want to arrest him because it would generate too much publicity and encourage copycats.

    I have been wondering about these all week. There is one down the road from my house but haven't seen them anywhere else. Bit freaky looking really! Would love to know what they are about, very odd!
