Investigations into the incident are currently ongoing, Gardaí added in a statement to JOE on Monday.

The owner of the PantiBar, Dr Panti Bliss-Cabrera, took to Twitter on Monday to confirm that there is CCTV footage of the incident, adding that the graffiti was "very clearly planned and premeditated". "This was painted on the building two doors up from Pantibar during the night," Bliss-Cabrera penned. "There is CCTV of the graffiti incident last night and it was very clearly planned and premeditated, rather than a spur of the moment thing." https://twitter.com/PantiBliss/status/1404425880928145416 A cleaning team from Dublin Town arrived to clean the area " straight away" and the graffiti has since been removed. Bliss-Cabrera added that the graffiti was painted on the building of neighbouring business, Etsy. https://twitter.com/DublinTown/status/1404412813716733957 JOE has reached out to PantiBar for comment.
