    Cllr Eirka Doyle has spent the morning with gardai, who are apparently taking this very seriously and will be investigating.


    So here is the graffiti.

    Because you "conveniently" left out the rest of the graffiti?

    I believe there has been other “instances” of graffiti around the place.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    I still don’t see what’s homophobic about it.

    I’m genuinely asking and not trying to be a troll.

    Is the fact that Mr O’Gorman is gay and him being called a pedophile considered to be homophobic? Or what am I missing?

    Yes - calling a gay man a paedophile is homophobic
    Covering a car in "all lives matter" is racist

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me?

    But why is it homophobic because he’s gay?

    Straight people can be paedophiles as well

    I just see a person being called a paedo, it doesn’t matter what their sexuality is

    Well there are some misguided people who seem to believe that being gay and paedophile go hand in hand. I saw similar graffiti about O'Gorman on a lampost in Cork a few days ago and as a gay man I found it pretty offensive.

    Lots of people have been photographed with Peter Tatchell. Gemmaroid types picked on O'Gorman because they figured they could get the "gay man is paedophile" thing to stick.

    You do know the difference between pedophilia and homosexuality don’t you?? “All lives matter” is a valid statement and has no victim - the crime might be vandalism but there is nothing defamatory being written there?

    I think its the amount if it in Bray. As Cllr Doyle points out there is so much in Bray the councils cleaning budget is gone.

    If you have some proof Cllr Doyle and the car owner did the graffiti themselves then give Bray Gardai a call. Otherwise you are talking absolute sh ite
