Graffiti in Dublin has been gaining global attention after it was altered in praise of Muslims.

The original piece spray painted on a wall had said people of the religion are scum - however it was quickly changed.

The Graffiti now reads All Muslims are Sound.

Images of the graffiti have been shared around the world this afternoon with some using the hashtag #UpTheDubs.
