Mica campaigner Paddy Diver slams Bohemians fans over 'Down with your houses' chant during Finn Harps game

Prominent Mica redress campaigner Paddy Diver is just one of many to criticise a section of Bohemians supporters who attended their 2-2 draw at home to Finn Harps on Friday.

The criticism stems from some Bohs fans singing 'Down with your houses, you're going down with your houses' at the travelling support.

Finn Harps themselves drew attention to the distasteful chant while live tweeting the match.

At one stage the Donegal club tweeted: "Still wet here in Dalymount.

"Home fans sing 'Your houses are falling down' in reference to the mica victims.

"Ryan Connolly is injured and being replaced by Ryan Rainey."

Diver, who has led a campaign for redress on behalf of those whose homes are falling apart in the north-west, then retweeted the clip while saying "If true, utterly classless from the 'Dublin Originals'.

"Put this right @bfcdublin. Put 100% Redress on your away jersey next season and we'll call it quits."

It should be noted that the wider reaction from fans of the Phibsboro outfit to both tweets was very apologetic.

And one disapproving fan evidently got in touch with Diver with a clip of the song being sung by a select few at Dalymount Park.

Reacting to this, Diver added: "First, thanks to the Bohs fans who reached out. Clearly this is a small minority of fans.

"Please @bfcdublin and @dlLambo (Bohs' Chief Operating Officer Daniel Lambert) stamp this out.

"Finally, @FinnHarpsFC have been a true people's club by supporting 100% Redress, more openly and honestly than any organisation in Donegal."

The Irish Mirror has reached out to Bohemians for comment on the incident.
