A man who was hospitalised with a broken ankle and horrific facial injuries following a sickening homophobic attack on him says it shows how Ireland still has a way to go when it comes to equality.
Rugby player Evan Somers (23) was brutally assaulted when he and his cousin were walking on Dublin’s Dame Street in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The Emerald Warriors Rugby player was left with a broken ankle and a fractured eye socket after a male ran after him before assaulting him at around 3.45am.
