Earlier on today, Maser’s Repeal mural on the Project Arts Centre was removed following a series of objections on planning grounds (ahem).

You can see photos of the removal here.

And the response, somewhat unsurprisingly, has been a mixture of digust, anger and defiance – and nowhere was this more apparent than on Twitter.

?Some focused on the sheer hypocrisy of it all…

Neat that we live in a country where you can show pictures of fetuses to children in the street but not create art calling for a referendum.

… and the irony…

The writing’s on the wall and they’re afraid of it. #repealthe8th

To be fair to the Anti Choice lot the #repealthe8th mural was unplanned, had no hope of survival so they got rid of it…

Oh, right.

… and, most of all, the sheer futility of such an exercise

I guess anti-choice activists are right in the sense once this mural is gone we’ll probably just drop the whole thing and leave it as is

Particularly as many made the point that this will only accelerate the movement further

Expect the next wave of #streetart for #repealthe8th soon. We won’t rest until women in Ireland are free to choose. #prochoice #NotACriminal

Let’s pray @projectarts puts on extra security to prevent someone, ahem, vandalising their building with a new #repealthe8th mural
