The paint damaged steering wheel of St Molleran's GAA Club's ride-on lawnmower
A Carrick-on-Suir GAA club has condemned the “scandalous behaviour” of those who broke into its playing grounds and vandalised a shed, lawnmower and playing pitch on Sunday night.
St Molleran’s GAA Club, which is based on the Coolnamuck Road on Carrick’s outskirts, said the culprits entered its machinery shed, damaged the lawnmower, threw paint around the shed and caused damage to the surface of a pitch at the grounds.
“We are extremely disappointed and upset with this scandalous behaviour shown towards our facilities that our club and its membership take so much pride in. The incident has been captured on CCTV,” said St Molleran’s GAA Club PRO Adam Hunt.
“We are very disappointed at this incident of malice, trespass, and vandalism.
“The positive work that has been undone by this act has no bounds. It goes against everything that is in the moral good.
Mr Hunt said the Club has reported the incident to the Gardaí, who are investigating.
“The matter is with An Garda Síochána now. It’s very sad for us all in the club.
“We have a fantastic group of volunteers and really, it's a kick in the teeth for all the hard work that they do each week,” he added.
