Leader of the council, Phélim Mac Cafferty, said: “It is the first time the council will remove graffiti from all types of property – public, residential and commercial – within 24 hours of
occurring, which is understood to be key to deterring the behaviour.”
The council said illegal graffiti is anything that is written, sprayed or painted on a public or private property without permission.
Incidents should be reported on the city council’s website.
