 Friday March 21, 2003 15:12 by AFA - Anti Fascist Action Ireland afa at ireland dot com C/o PO Box 3355, Dublin 7, Ireland
 Here is an AFA press release about an action taking place tomorrow. All interested are welcome to attend. PRESS RELEASE Anti Racists Clean Up A local anti-racist group is marking International day Against Racism with a 'clean-up' effort in a North Dublin area which has been defaced by racist graffiti. Local residents and members of Anti-Fascist Action are taking the action to paint out abusive slogans and Nazi symbols which have been painted on walls in Croke Villas and neighbouring streets off the North Strand. Local AFA activist Jo Tobin said "The slogans include swastikas and abuse such as "Wogs Out", "Niggers Out" and "SS". The graffiti has been there for at least the past six months, despite the fact that it is the job of Dublin City Council to remove it." She continued, "This is a residential area and we know that the slogans are the work of just one person. It is not acceptable that decent local people should have their area defaced and made to look like a slum, quite apart from the abusive racial nature of the slogans." Anti Fascist Action have already been in touch with local residents and have leafleted the area. The group plans to continue it's work in the area and is encouraging local people to contact Dublin City Council to urge them to do the job our taxes pay for and to continue the clean up of the area. [ENDS] Graffiti removal will take place on Saturday 22nd March at 11am. Meet at Railway bridge in Ballybough (123 bus stop) e-mail [email protected]
