THE office of Taoiseach Micheál Martin has been vandalised, the third such attack in weeks.
The attack took place last night at the Taoiseach’s constituency office in Turner’s Cross on the Southside of Cork City last night.

The window of the office was daubed with the words “Zionist pawn” in black paint.
Red paint was used to deface the door and walls of the building.
It comes after personal threats were previously made against the Fianna Fail leader.
A spokesperson for Mr Martin’s office told us: “I can confirm there was an act of vandalism on the constituency office last night. This is the third such attack.
“Personal threats have also previously been sent to the office, warning the Taoiseach it will be made impossible for him to navigate in public spaces.
“This is a working office with constituency staff acting on a daily basis to support the community on various issues.
“Those responsible for the criminal acts and intimidatory and abusive threats are fundamentally anti-democratic.”
The spokesperson added: “We believe the vast majority of people who are appalled by the situation in Gaza would have nothing to do with such actions.”
A poster was also pinned to the door of the office.
It claimed the Irish Government has been “complicit in the apartheid, occupation and genocide of the Palestinian people inflicted by Israel.”
Gardai are investigating this incident and others.
Technical experts were in attendance today and were collecting evidence at the site.
The office has a number of CCTV cameras and Gardai have collected footage and are examining this, hoping it will lead to an early arrest.
