An Indian man was attacked and stabbed in Tallaght on Saturday evening in what was the latest in a series of racist attacks in the area. The man was hospitalised on Saturday before being discharged yesterday.
People Before Profit TD Paul Murphy said “The local community is in shock at this appalling attack. This appears to be the latest in a series of recent racially motivated attacks by a gang in the area. Those responsible must be found and stopped.”
“The racist groups and individuals who spread their hate bear a heavy responsibility for this and for racist attacks elsewhere. Their lies and hate create the atmosphere in which these attacks take place”.
“I want to offer my deep sympathy to the man who was attacked and to his family who will be so traumatised by what has happened. I also want to commend and express my solidarity with the woman who went to the victim’s aid. Her bravery represents the real Tallaght that stands together against violence and hate and to defend everyone in our community”.
