A man has been arrested following a homophobic attack on Pantibar, one of Dublin's most well-known LGBT bars, last night.
As tweeted by Panti Bliss, a rock was thrown through the window of Pantibar on Capel St. at 11PM last night with a message taped to it saying in Irish, "Fairies out of Ireland."
A brick thrown through Pantibar's window just now. No one hurt.
It says in Irish "FAIRIES (fags) OUT OF IRELAND"But we are Ireland
Happy Pride everyone. It's going to be a great day tomorrow, full of Irish love and queer joy.

The man in question who threw the rock has not yet been publicly named and was later arrested by Garda after he returned to the scene of the crime some time later by Pantibar's manager and security staff.
The venue's Facebook page and Panti Bliss' Twitter account saw many messages of support following the attack, which took place the day before Dublin Pride Parade.
