A Cork GAA club has hit out at mindless vandals after suffering in excess of €5,000 worth of damage to its facilities.
St. Michael's, based on the Ringmahon Road, vented on social media earlier today after the latest occurrence of its grounds being targeted by thugs.
The club's Twitter account wrote: "Again, we arrive down to Páirc Mhichíl Naofa to discover our property vandalised.

"New floodlights, only installed, smashed, dug outs spray painted, newly erected advertising signs completely destroyed with spray paint.
"Minimum cost of repair €5000! Sheer and utter frustration.
"Last week we had a hugely successful Cúl Camp for the underage, a lot of work put in by our committee, tonight we can’t train on the training pitch in preparation for Championship next week from broken glass.
"We hope to build an all-weather pitch, is it worth the hassle?"
Such was the extent of their wrath, volunteers behind the club's account even put it out there that the club may have to move out of the area since this is clearly the latest in a spate of wanton destruction its had to endure.
"Is it a case we have to move somewhere else?
"All the clubs in the area are now being affected, all doing the same, all providing an outlet for the boys and girls of the parish only to be stalled in their attempts by the mindless few.
"@RingmahonRanger @AvondaleUtdFC @RockiesCamogie @StMichaelsLGFC @RockiesCork tag your local councillors.
"Retweet .. something must be done to end this frustration endured by us all … @TerryTshannon @CllrDesCahil €5000 is a lot to a club like us …"
The other clubs tagged towards the end of the post expressed sympathy towards St. Michael's and echoed calls for action to be taken in order to find the culprits responsible.
