Statement from Bishop Ken Good regarding Graffitti in Bogside, following death of Constable Ronan Kerr

The strong reaction from the citizens in the Bogside and across our city has demonstrated that the sentiments expressed in some graffiti are wholly unrepresentative of the community. Rather they are the views of an increasingly isolated number of misguided individuals.

The united voice of the community has been more accurately expressed in the strong lead given by politicians, churches and sporting organizations, not least the GAA, in outrightly condemning the killing of Constable Ronan Kerr.
