Louth County Council has condemned anti-Semitic graffiti that was daubed on two roads in Co Louth in recent days.

The graffiti was painted on the R165 and L1260 near Ardee.

The council's operations team investigated both locations, and arrangements are being made to remove the graffiti as quickly as possible.

In a statement, Louth County Council said it strongly condemns the use of anti-Semitic language or imagery in any form.

Local Fianna Fail councillor, John Sheridan, said that “targeting the Jewish community is something that cannot be condoned. The vileness of these comments, including the use of swastikas, is very evocative for the Jewish community, and speaks to how deliberate this was.”

Councillor Sheridan joined us on The Agenda this morning to talk to us some more about this.
