Maggie and Fred attacked by Kilcullen vandals

Bad behaviour in Kilcullen has hit a new low with the overnight vandalisation of the Easter Bunnies installation, writes Brian Byrne.

The figures of 'Maggie and Fred' were badly damaged at some time during the night.

The installation by artist Pat Munnelly was only put in place last week, funded by Kilcullen Community Action.

"Shocking behaviour after all the hard work Pat put into his work and KCA funding it for the businesses, community and the town," says KCA's Antoinette Buckley this morning. "As a group we are tired of seeing such bad behaviour, vandalism in our beautiful town. Shame on whoever decided to vandalise the Easter displays ... pure low life people in our community."

If anyone has information that could lead to identifying the culprits they should contact Kilcullen Gardai.

There has been a spate of damaging of flower installations over the last number of months, including the destruction of flower boxes on the bridge.
