An attack on a group of homeless migrants living in a camp in Dublin has "the feel and look of a racist attack", the Taoiseach has said.
Gardai were alerted to an incident on River Road in Ashtown at around 12.45pm on Saturday. A number of men reported attacked the camp with sticks, dogs, and a baseball bat.
When asked for a reason, the men claimed that the residents had been involved in a separate alleged assault, the Irish Times reports. The residents of the camp have since abandoned it.
