(Jewish Group) Swastika graffiti defaces walls of Irish synagogue

Staff at a Dublin synagogue are believed to be treating the swastika graffitied onto their wall last week as a drunken act rather than targeted anti-Semitism.

A synagogue in south Dublin was defaced last week with swastika graffiti on its outer walls. On Friday, December 28, the Terenure Synagogue on Rathfarnham Road was vandalized in the early hours of the morning.

Gardaí are currently investigating but no suspects have been identified. The incident is being treated as a criminal damage offense.

The graffiti has been removed at it is not known whether anti-Semitism was the motive.

“There was nothing leading up to this. It doesn’t seem to be part of a pattern so we’re hoping it’s just a drunk fool,” one staff member, who refused to be named, told the Irish Times.
