On a post on its social media page, Currynierin Community Association wrote: "Sectarian graffiti isn’t culture — it’s intimidation. These markings don’t honor identity; they enforce fear and division. We deserve streets that reflect hope, not old hatreds."
Waterside SDLP councillor Sean Mooney said: "This graffiti last night clearly expressed a mindset from those pushing this intolerance. Last week was Ivy Mead, last night was Curryneirin. These communities don’t want this behaviour, they just want to live in peace, it should stop."
