Park vandals spark calls for ban on spray cans

There have been calls for a New York-style crackdown on spray can sales in Cork after vandals attacked the concert stage in the city’s flagship park.

Several ‘tags’ have been daubed on the underside of the striking white canopy, which was installed during the revamp of Fitzgerald’s Park, and which was unveiled to the public in May.

City officials are aware of the damage and are waiting for expert advice on how to remove the paint.
