Dublin South West Together, a local community, expressed solidarity with migrants to the region.
In a post on Facebook, they announced a community stand out.
“A vicious racist attack in Kilnamanagh which left an Indian man needing hospital treatment. The man was walking through Kilnamanagh when he was set upon by a gang of youths. The man was stabbed, beaten and stripped. False accusations about the man were later spread on social media in an attempt to justify the attack,” it said.
“Racists and Far Right groups have stoked the fire against immigrants for months and this has fuelled racism across Dublin city.
Our local community will be taking a stand against this attack. The people being attacked are our neighbours, their children are the children of our neighbours. We must stand by them and not allow racists who inflict violence to gain any more. Who lives here belongs here! Let this be a turning point against racist attacks in our community, Tallaght! Join our community stand out on Friday at 6.30pm!” the post read.
