Pride flags raised in Waterford City have been cut down again in what the city's mayor has described as a "truly despicable act".
The new flags had been raised at Waterford City and County Council's buildings at the Mall on Wednesday after the previous flags had been taken down and set alight.
This morning the Mayor of Waterford Damien Geoghegan said it was discovered the flags had been cut down again and that the matter has been reported to the gardaí.
