Anti-Semitic Graffiti Sprayed On New Central Bank HQ Site

Anti-Semitic graffiti has been spray-painted on the under-construction building of the proposed new headquarters of the Central Bank in Dublin.

The building site on North Wall Quay was targeted overnight on Tuesday, with ‘Jewish Financial Terrorism’, ‘Zionist Global Financial Terrorism’ and ‘New Multicult Star Religion’ among the phrases daubed on the structure, alongside the names of politicians and bankers.

The site was the proposed headquarters for the Anglo Irish Bank.

The Irish Times have reported that the site is monitored by 24 hour CCTV, while Netwatch Security guard the building and At Risk Security monitor the land surrounding it.

An investigation as to how the security was breached is underway.
