Grafitti investigated by gardai

Gardaí are understood to be investigating an incident of criminal damage where an alleged threatening message was sprayed on a wall in Cavan Town.

The message, which appeared overnight at Tullymongan, reads: 'Wim Verbraeken Beware of the risen people. 32CSM'.

The Mr Verbraeken believed referred to is Chief Executive of Belgian-owned bank, KBC Bank Ireland.

Mr Verbraeken told the Oireachtas finance committee earlier this year that customers ended up losing their properties in 33 overcharging cases, the highest number of any bank caught up in the tracker controversy. These involved six family homes and 27 buy-to-let properties.

The 32 County Sovereignty Movement, often abbreviated to 32CSM, is an Irish republican group founded by Bernadette Sands McKevitt.

The group does not contest elections but acts as a pressure group, with branches or cumainn organised throughout the traditional counties of Ireland.
