In short, to facilitate the types of ‘joined up’ thinking between Govt/State agencies, local business/communities, police and schools that exist in other territories:
‘’ We began studying the issue in early 2000, and have been travelling widely, researching, attending international conferences and investing in our educational profile for over a decade now…’’ says CEO Malachy Quinn. He continu
es: ‘’ We have been activitely involved in numerous anti-graffiti campaigns in the US, Australia and UK, and have a proven track record of success, in particular where State agencies are fully on board in terms of education and empowerment.’’
He adds: ‘’ We know how and when to target potential offenders, how to successfully liaise with State agencies, how to audit and manage the problem, how to actively encourage community and business involvement. We have seen the results of such multi-agency co-operation – they are dramatic, and exciting.’’
Graffiti Wipeout is already instrumental in the fields of training and advice in Ireland. It works with local councils, FAS, the Irish Probation Service, the Dept. of Environment and environmental officers across numerous councils. Its schools programme – endorsed by the Dept– is an increasingly popular tool in its overall programme.
‘’ The key to combating this illegal and anti-social behaviour lies in education and awareness. There is no point in removing graffiti if it is destined to re-appear. There is now an economic necessity to examine the problem in its totality, and to offer real and practical solutions. ’’ says Mr Quinn
