To be clear. If you are Irish and you're out there spreading xenophobic bile, and shouting "go back to where you came from" to immigrants on the street, you've absolutely lost the run of yourself and should be ashamed. Remember where YOU came from, you pathetic gobshites. #dublin

I'm brokenhearted for the five people seriously injured in the knife attack, and desperately hope they all recover, mentally as well as physically.

The 'protests' that have followed seem to be powered entirely by anti-immigration sentiment, despite the fact that the Irish Times reports that the suspect is "a naturalized Irish citizen, who has lived here for 20 years". So perhaps it's unbridled racism instead. Inexcusable.

Dublin stabbing: girl (5) receiving emergency treatment as Garda chief refuses to rule out any motive

Eyewitness spotted man in ‘stabbing motion’ near group of children before passers-by intervened

The Irish Times
@LaurieWinkless and at least one report claimed that the attacker was interrupted/brought down by a recent migrant…
@peteralee indeed!
@LaurieWinkless now confirmed- he was a Brazilian immigrant.
But that’s counter to their batshit insane narrative, so will of course be ignored.
