GARDAÍ HAVE ARRESTED a man in his early 20s in connection with an incident of criminal damage at one of Dublin’s best-known gay nightspots.
Yesterday morning at 5.30am a series of homophobic slurs and Nazi symbols were placed on the walls of The George pub.
They remained in place before being removed by management some four hours later.
The outside of the pub and the laneway adjacent to its entrance are covered by a sophisticated CCTV security system.
A spokesperson for the pub confirmed that the CCTV had been checked and the person responsible had been recorded in the act.
That footage was subsequently passed onto gardaí.
“Gardaí at Pearse Street have arrested a man in his early 20s in connection with an incidence of criminal damage at a licenced premises on George’s Street,” a Garda spokesperson told TheJournal.ie.
The man was arrested earlier this morning. He is currently detained at Pearse Street Garda Station under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act.
“We are very appreciative of the Garda response and the assistance that has been given,” the pub’s spokesperson added.
The George had taken to Facebook yesterday afternoon to profess itself “shocked and truly disheartened” by the vandalism, the first such incident of homophobia the pub had experienced in the two years since the same-sex marriage referendum.
Later yesterday evening, the pub’s Facebook page had posted a more upbeat message, suggesting that the anniversary of the referendum is of more importance:
Home is where the heart is <3 join us tonight as we get together to celebrate the Yes vote anniversary… no-one can dampen our glittery, Britney Spears lyric-filled hearts on days like these… we’ll see you on the dancefloor later.

I can think of better ways to spend $95 million.

I can neither confirm nor deny that it would be through cocaine usage Rod.(but if you have $95 million worth of cocaine, give me a shout!)
No, that’s how you make $95 million

Drug Companies Donated Millions to California Lawmakers Prior to Forced Vaccination Bill
Should we not have the right to choose?
One in 50 children are now autistic. No, you didn’t read that wrong. Despite the fact that a CDC whistleblower recently came forward admitting that the government agency obfuscated evidence linking vaccines to autistic behavior, California lawmakers passed a mandatory vaccine bill (SB277) which removes parental exemptions – making it so parents couldn’t refuse or delay vaccines. Even more damning evidence has surfaced proving that Big Pharma had their hands in the creation of the bill.

If only we could vaccinate against people like you
@ dron : you are of course correct. Hitler would have if he got away with it.
That said, I am very happy my children live in Germany today and not in the US.
Pat, try researching infant mortality and disease rates in South west wales, across the Irish Sea. The are is a hotbed of anti vaccine crazies. Sadly there mortality and disease rates are astronomical compared to the rest of the UK
pat, 62 sheeple and counting, you’d be surprised at how many people will believe what the benevolent corporations tell them to believe, the right to make profit is above all national and human rights.
As with most to all buisness the main concern is the bottom line. The bigger the company the less they care about anything else. How people don’t see that is beyond me
And the three of you can’t make the link between vaccinations and the mysterious decline in certain diseases
Pat, to compare nazi eugenics to modern immunisation programmes is an embarassment, shameful and disrespectful to all those who lost their lives fighting or being tortured during WWII. To strengthen your argument by comparing to nazis is stupid and irrelevant and is a weak attempt at trying to get the upperhand. And to everyone bashing big pharma, tell me do you have the answer to investing billion dollar risks with out reward of profit? If it werent for profit you’d have no innovation, look at Apple, look at Pfizer, look at any company that brings out anything that tries to make your life better and tell me profit wasnt the driving force! If you’d prefer companies to not bother risking anything and halt innovation and stop big payments join a communist party and tell me how well that goes, because pat, didnt the capitalists win?
Dawyne, I doubt it’s the objection to preventing diseases but the questionable methods of delivery, and ingredients of some vaccine products. The H1N1 vaccine for example, which had two product available in Ireland, one had either squalene or aluminium as an adjuvant which kicks your immune system into turbo which can have negative effect for some people who may already have a compromised immune system. Most doctors at the time where only administering the cheaper shot with these ingredients unless the patient asked about alternatives. Rushed to market vaccines which side effects may take 10+15 years to manifest are a valid concern. You heard of Gulf War Syndrome? That was down to USA army giving cheap vaccines to its soldiers heading to the Gulf and thousands of vets now suffer life long consequences. Being cautious and sceptical is advisable when it comes to products which can affect your health.
Wayne, of course sheeple like you, will jump straight to the extreme, of course some vaccines have helped battle disease, that doesn’t mean all vaccines are good and should be taken simply because a pharmaceutical company says “it’s grand” have you forgotten the hepatitis and hiv treatments they sent around the globe knowing they weren’t fit for propose. wake up.
So toker which vaccines should we avoid? “Sheeple” sorry to disappoint you but I am quite capable of independent thinking
ehh that’s entirely up to you my friend, point is, and I know you missed it, it should be up to the individual to decide whether or not to avail of any vaccine NOT a pharmaceutical company. and I stand by my assumption of sheeple
Summer is a verb now?

Answering the question “Why must people struggle to afford life-saving prescription medication in many countries?”.
Yes it is all this guys fault.
Actually the guy selling the house is going to use the money to buy vaccines and medications for sick and in need children in poor countries. The people buying the house are of course evil, ruthless, horrible people that we should be begrudge and blame the worlds problems on.
