Around 100 people have been taking part in an anti-racism protest in South Dublin this evening.
The gathering was in response a racist attack on three Afghan nationals near Marlay Park in Rathfarnham last week.

They were set upon by a group of five men who knocked them unconscious.
People Before Profit TD Richard Boyd Barrett was at the protest.
“Irish people went all over the world and they weren’t a problem, they contributed to the societies to which they went, and immigrants that are coming to this country equally are contributing,” he said.
