Student’s €2,750 graffiti spree

A student who went on a graffiti spree throughout Rathfarnham saw the case against him struck out yesterday when he paid €2,750 in compensation.

In Tallaght Court, Judge Bridget Reilly asked Daniel Kernan how he would feel if somebody sprayed graffiti across his parents’ house. Kernan replied: “I would get upset.”

The court heard Kernan’s antics were first rumbled when the gardaí received a complaint from the Yellow House Pub in Rathfarnham after graffiti had been sprayed on a wall. On investigating the case, it transpired that there was graffiti at seven or eight locations throughout Rathfarnham.
