Insulting Graffiti on Church in Killeshil

Country: Ireland

Date of incident: May 11, 2022


The outer wall of the St. Paul's Church of Ireland in Killeshil was painted with the words "baby killers" alongside a swastika symbol. The attack was labelled a hate crime by the PSNI who were investigating the incident. Frances Burton, the DUP councillor for the Clogher Valley area said: “It really is soul-destroying for the people involved with that church and it’s something that is so uncalled for."

He continued: "The distress and upset it has caused to people in that area who live quietly and go to their place of worship is just ridiculous."
