The entrance to the Auschwitz concentration camp. Poland
The 38-year-old Irish national, whose name is not reported, is said to have scratched his name onto the wall during a visit to the site on Sunday because he had seen other people’s names on it and thought it was the right thing to do.
The man was spotted by the Auschwitz Museum Guards who detained him but he was later released after pleading guilty, according to reports.

Do you know the tourist’s identity? Email miranda.aldersley@mailonline.co.uk
Anyone looking to get back at their neighbour after their dog pee’d on your alloy wheels? Out them in the Mail.
There is a misprint there. Surely is should read “8-year-old Irish national”.
Year in a Polish prison. Should be enough. Good luck!!
What an absolute nitwit.
One of the most enraging things I’ve ever seen was people’s names scratched into the railings in the Aya Sofia in Istanbul. Followed closely by the amount of names inanely scribbled on the East Side Gallery in Berlin.
Adolf was ere!
Poor Grift.
The Mail etc love these ‘stupid irish’ stories.
A friend works for a large irish company that have a London office. Last week they found out that the London staff refer to the irish as the spuds
Enjoy Brexit, chaps!

It’s hardly a stupid Irish story.
It’s a story about an idiot who just happens to be Irish.
You’re very thin-skinned.
Like a new potato….
That’s a classic case of “consider the source”…
He’s lucky Magneto didn’t catch him!
Meh, looking at €150 for the engraving at most. Expensive but you are in it for generations!
