Tipperary Historic Site One Of Many Affected By Vandalism

353

Athassel Abbey in Golden is one of 51 historical sites involved in reports of vandalism last year. The report states that a stone effigy on a wall was knocked on the ground in an incident last July. 

The Office of Public Works says that the increasing reports of vandalism are a “real, pressing and substantial problem”, as each repair can cost hundreds of euro. 

Any reports of vandalism should be reported to local Gardaí.
