Anger at IRA and gun graffiti on Dungannon roundabout signs
The black and apparently spray-painted message, was added to the back of all four direction signs on the roundabout between the Ballygawley Road and Granville Road.
Even though it is on the back of the signs, it can be clearly seen from a vehicle navigating around the sizable risen circle.

She said she has received a number of complaints in relation to what has been painted on the signs.
She said: “I have reported the criminal damage to both TransportNI and the PSNI.
“Other political parties are very quick to call on removal of signage in Moygashel so I hope those same politicians are as quick to respond to this mural in Dungannon.”

“We are working with people in the community to have these removed.”
