This follows a shocking racist assault that took place in Tallaght, Dublin, on July 19. A 40-year-old Indian national, employed by Amazon and newly arrived in Ireland, was violently attacked by a group of teenagers stabbed in the face, partially stripped, and left severely injured.

In a separate incident, an Indian-origin entrepreneur shared on LinkedIn that he was subjected to an unprovoked racist attack in Ireland. He reported being assaulted by a group of teenagers who stole his glasses, beat him, and left him requiring medical attention.
