The Ireland’s Future group has issued a statement “in solidarity with James Nesbitt”.
The statement, released on Sunday evening, comes in the wake of graffiti appearing last week targeting the actor after he appeared at an Ireland’s future event in Dublin.
The graffiti, which was daubed on a wall in Portrush near Nesbitt’s home, said “1x King, 1x Crown, No Pope in Our Town James Nesbitt”. Speaking soon after, he said it was “unnerving”, but added that it “saddens” him that someone would do it.
