Covered: Graffiti read 'Alan Ryan rot in hell' (Facebook)

A message scrawled on church walls in north Dublin which read 'Alan Ryan rot in hell' has been covered over.

The hateful message - sprayed in red ink - was spotted on the walls of the Holy Trinity Church in Donaghmede yesterday.

The church wall was defaced with a message that will undoubtedly raise tensions in a gang war that has already seen a number of people murdered on our streets.



Alan Ryan himself was gunned down in Donaghmede in September 2012 amid a major dispute with Dublin drug gangs.

His right-hand man Deccy Smith was shot in the face in March moments after he dropped off his son off to a creche in the north Dublin suburb.
