Leo Varadkar address daubed on East Belfast wall

The PSNI is investigating the latest graffiti threat against Leo Varadkar in Belfast.

The Tanaiste’s address was daubed on a wall at the junction of the Newtownards Road and Belvoir Street in the east of the city.

It is the latest of a number of daubings in Northern Ireland amid anger among some at the Brexit Protocol, with a raft of new checks on goods arriving at ports from Great Britain introduced at the start of 2021.

A PSNI spokesperson said officers are aware of the graffiti, and inquiries are ongoing.

In January, sinister graffiti targeting Mr Varadkar appeared in the Belvoir area of South Belfast.

It warned the Tanaiste not to cross the Irish border.

That daubing was condemned by politicians from across the political divide in the region.
