Was the chalk message that Jack the Ripper left above Catherine Eddowes irrelevant to the police?

You are talking about The Goulston Street graffito. This is the name given to some writing on a wall that was found beside a clue in the Whitechapel murders investigation.It was found at 108-119 Wentworth Model Dwellings, by PC Alfred Long on 30 Sunday 1888.
This chalk-written message has been the subject of many a debate both as to its relevance if written by the Ripper and as to whether it was written by Jack the Ripper at all. Some have theorized that the message was written prior to Mrs Eddowes murder and quite possibly, Mrs Stride's murder, which of course, occurred prior to the Mitre Square tragedy on the same night. It is a matter of opinion, rather than fact, that the Ripper was illiterate or unskilled in English.
There is no certainty that the Goulston Street writing was the work of Jack the Ripper.
