A disgraceful episode of criminal damage was inflicted on the premises of Cross & Passion College last night, with six windows deliberately smashed in around the new extension,
writes Brian Byrne.
There are indications that the perpetrators had been drinking in the area, with a number of discarded cans near the points of attack.
In at least one instance, part of an old tree stump that had been left in the area was heaved through the window of a classroom. In another, the remains of a broken bottle suggest it might have been the weapon.
The damage was discovered by members of a local football club which were using the school's pitches this morning for practice.
The Garda have been informed. The area is covered by cctv cameras, and it is hoped that the perpetrators might be identifiable from the footage.
UPDATE: A number of the flower boxes on the Convent Wall were also interfered with last night.
