Bohemians Unveil Poignant 'Refugees Welcome' Mural Outside Dalymount Park

There's no two ways about it - Bohemian FC is a special club.

With the horrific images of a drowned Syrian child washed up on a Turkish beach reverberating around the globe, the worst humanitarian crisis since the second World War is once again front page news across the continent.

Over 12,000 Irish people have signed an Uplift petition urging Enda Kenny to accept more refugees on Irish soil, with a target being set at 15,000.

Elsewhere, with their fingers on the social pulse as ever, Bohemians have responded with one of the classiest gestures we've seen from a football club in a long time.

The Phibsborough club have become renowned in recent years for their outspoken, liberal approach when it comes to wider social issues, and this mural - revealed outside Dalymount Park yesterday - once again cements their admirable club ethos. The Boh-iz are no strangers to leading by example, and were one of the first Irish sporting organisations to speak out in favour of same-sex marriage ahead of May's referendum.
