Taoiseach Micheál Martin’s constituency office in Cork city has been vandalised for a fourth time.
The office, located in Turner’s Cross, was spray-painted with the words “pawn,” “scum,” and “traitor” in green, black, and red paint during the early hours of Thursday morning.
A Garda spokesperson told the Irish Examiner that the force is investigating “an incident of criminal damage at a premises in Turner’s Cross.”
“The scene is preserved pending a technical examination to be conducted in due course,” the spokesperson said.
Last month, Mr Martin’s office was similarly vandalised.
A 34-year-old man later appeared before Cork District Court charged with criminal damage to the Taoiseach’s constituency office.
On July 28, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) ruled that the case could be handled at district court level.
The case was then adjourned until October 6, and the accused was remanded on continuing bail.
Gardaí say they are keen to speak with anyone who was in the Turner’s Cross area between 12.30am and 1am on Thursday.
Anyone with information is asked to contact investigating gardaí at Anglesea Street Garda Station on 021 452 2000, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any garda station.
