TWO Fianna Fail TDs from Border constituencies yesterday sharply criticised those responsible for a spate of attacks on Church of Ireland property in the Republic in recent days.
Mr Dermot Ahern (Louth) said the people responsible for daubing graffiti on church property and causing other damage in Cos Monaghan, Louth and north Dublin did not represent anybody and were acting in mindless manner.
Mr Jimmy Leonard (Cavan Monaghan) said there was concern over damage caused to churches in Monaghan town. Those responsible were obviously ignorant of the excellent relations which existed between communities in the area.
Gardai confirmed they were investigating recent damage to church property in the areas concerned.
