Jump To Comment: 1 2 3I witnessed the aftermath of a racist attack on a Moslem owned call to go centre
soon after the Saint Patricks Cathedral Hunger and thirst strike.
People walked to work, the glass had been bashed in with a heavy implement. It was the third
such attack. The guys did not want photographs and said that the gardai could do nothing,
even though there was a garda inter-cultural poster on the window.
People seem to feel that it is not their responsibility to intervene and that is saddening.
A friends child was struck down with bad stomach pain on Grafton street and asked for help, no-one stopped. she had to call her dad by mobile and be taken to hospital.
The fact is that you did right by trying to help and asking her if she wanted it reported.
At St pats I witnessed a woman being assaulted and the line of Gardai stood and watched, only intervention by protestors and the threat of a formal complaint made them second a cop to
that vicious scene.
It may seem futile from the point of justice for this attack and others like it to be reported if there appears to be no chance of prosecution, but the Gardai are now supposedly recording racist attacks for statistical purposes. Failure to report allows Michael Mc Dowell and senior Civil Servants in the Department of Justice etc. to deny that racism is an issue in Ireland today.
No reports equates with no attacks.
The cops arrived and took attacker away .I was interested in calling the staion (which would be Blackrock ,Dublin) to check if they have pressed charges,as they should, but have been travelling and not done so as yet.When i`m back in Dublin i will visit the station with the lady involved and make enquiries and post it here.
(Sorry about the text in report i was still shaking)
