Violent scenes emerged in Dublin city last night as a large group of people gathered around asylum seekers sleeping outside.
The incident happened on Sandwich Street in the south of the city centre.
Footage shared on social media shows a man confronting the group. Others are seen removing placards attached to a barrier, reports The Mirror.
Another man is heard shouting, “Take that fu**er down will you, this is our country,” reports The Mirror.
A person is seen crashing into a steel fence, severing part of it. The man in front of the group then picks up the piece of light steel and smashes it to the ground before several men surround him. After being hit, he falls to the ground.
Local TD Chris Andrews called the violence “completely unacceptable”.
“The bottom line is that this is a result of neglect of the inner city and working class communities,” he told Dublin Live. “The buildings beside it are St. Andrews Court flats that were earmarked for regeneration 5 years ago,” reports The Mirror.
“I was at a meeting almost 5 years ago with residents and DCC who said they would redevelop this site and increase the social housing available to residents yet nothing has happened and now the Government and the Council have left this site become almost like skid row. The Government need to show a sense of urgency around the redevelopment of these public homes,” reports The Mirror.
