Culture Minister disgusted by vandalism: 'There is no bravery in throwing paint at a statue'
Gardai are examining footage from security cameras in the vicinity of St Stephen's Green to try to identify who was responsible for throwing paint over the Haunting Soldier sculpture.
The six metre high memorial to the returning soldiers of World War One has been on loan to Ireland as part of the centenary events commemorating the end of the conflict and has drawn huge numbers of visitors.
