Dublin City Council are threatening to remove the mural on South Great George's street depicting 2 men embracing, created by Joe Caslin and erected earlier this month.

They say this matter is due to a lack of "planning permission" and not to undermine the yes vote in the upcoming Marriage Equality referendum.

The building owners have given consent for the mural to be placed there, there was no building, simply a paper mural being erected on the side of a building, this should not be a planning matter, as many of the buildings in the area also dawn murals.

We are asking that Dublin City Council do NOT buckle to the pressure, and allow the mural to stand high and proud on South Great George's Street, Dublin 2.
