People have their say on safety in capital after latest Temple Bar attack
The Irish Mirror has headed to Dublin's streets to ask people if they feel safe in the capital. On Wednesday morning, Gardaí issued a witness appeal after an English tourist was left fighting for his life in hospital following an attack in the centre of Dublin's Temple Bar. During the course of the altercation he is believed to have been kicked in the head while on the ground. He was rushed to Dublin's Beaumont Hospital where he is being treated for head injuries - and his condition is being described as critical. In light of the vicious attack, the Irish Mirror went to the streets of the capital to ask people if they felt safe while walking around Dublin city centre. Nick, who works in Temple Bar told the Irish Mirror: 'I am working here for the past two years now, and I used to feel very safe back then. People were so nice all the time, I'm from different nationality, they always treated me nicely here. He added: 'But for the past few months, I don't feel the same behaviour from them. I feel like they have become a little cold, I don't know why is it so. And from past three weeks, I have seen a lot of attacks going on on my community.

Another man agreed, sharing that he did not feel safe in the city centre. He told how he is more concerned for his children's safety than anybody else. 'No, I wouldn't feel safe in general in the whole of the town, in the inner city at the minute. 'From all the attacks going on, seeing it on social media, the media try downplay it, it's definitely happening, it's out there. You seen the Garda getting stabbed there very very recently, attacked from behind. 'I have two young children, very concerned more so for my children's safety than anybody. I was only coming in and out of town now I'm heading back home, and I do feel myself being a little more alert and looking around and seeing who's looking behind me. 'The Garda presence isn't there either…. They're people who are supposed to protect us. A bystander actually took that lad down.' One hairdresser who works in Dublin City Centre said that as a daytime business he feels safe, but stressed that more Garda is necessary. He said: 'No, no we are a daytime business open from 9am to 6pm and it's a lot safer in the daytime. Certainly a lot of the late night food restaurants, bars, late night business I think would suffer, would certainly put a lot of people coming in. More Garda patrolling the streets, that's what we want.' One woman who lives in The Liberties and works in Temple Bar said despite the news this morning, she does feel safe, although she wouldn't come to the city alone at night. She said: 'I do generally, I obviously heard the news this morning which is startling, given that we only work over there, I actually work in Temple Bar as well, but generally I do feel safe. 'It wouldn't put me off, I'm here right now. It would put me off coming here late or alone, I would have to be with friends if I was coming here again.' Another lady told how there were no issues as they walked around last night. She said: 'Yeah I do (feel safe). We were walking around last night, and I felt safe enough. We haven't had any issues.' One more group of ladies shared they do feel safe but that a shopkeeper had told their group to be conscious of pickpockets. 'We feel safe, but we have just been told about keeping our bags close to us and there has been some pickpocketing locally around here. But we are in a group so we feel quite safe'. Another lady added: 'That was a local lady that warned us, at a shop near our hotel when we were chatting to her, so I think locals are aware of it, but we felt very safe, we have been walking around at night.'

Teenager charged with murder of Irish Rail worker
A 19-year-old man has been charged with the murder of a 49-year-old Irish Rail worker who was found dead in at his home in Carrick on Suir in Co Tipperary earlier this month. Nathan Hanlon of Castleview, Ballyneale, Carrick on Suir, appeared before a special sitting of Clonmel District Court on Thursday afternoon. Mr Hanlon was charged with the murder of Ian Walsh at his home in Ravenswood Estate on Cregg Road in Carrick on Suir on August 2, 2025. Sergeant Denis Ryan of Clonmel gave evidence of arrest, charge and caution. He said that Mr Hanlon made no reply when the charge was put to him under caution. Defence solicitor John Joy said that he wouldn't be making an application for bail on this occasion as persons facing a murder charge cannot obtain bail at district court level. He asked that Mr Hanlon be psychologically assessed whilst in custody. Mr Joy also made an application for free legal aid. Superintendent Niall O'Connell told Judge Miriam Walsh that Gardaí were seeking a remand in custody to the next sitting of Clonmel District Court on August 26. Mr Joy asked that Mr Hanlon be produced in person in court on the next occasion rather than appearing by video link. Judge Walsh remanded Mr Hanlon in custody to appear before the court in person on August 26. Free legal aid was granted and the accused will be psychologically assessed whilst in custody. Meanwhile, a cremation service took place for Mr Walsh on August 12 last at the Island Crematorium in Ringaskiddy, Co Cork. A post-mortem examination carried out by State Pathologist Dr Yvonne McCartney confirmed that he had died by violent means. Ian Walsh was a native of Waterford who worked at Carrick on Suir train station. He worked for Iarnród Éireann for three decades and was also a qualified bus driver.

Garda who denies pushing man who died in tragic incident suspended from duty
A Garda under investigation in relation to the death of a man in Dublin city centre has been suspended from duty. The 51-year-old man died after he suffered serious injuries following an interaction with Gardaí. The man was involved in an incident with Gardaí close to the Holiday Inn on O'Connell Street last Friday, August 15. He died days later. Fiosrú, the Office of the Police Ombudsman, said it is independently investigating the incident and has commenced a criminal investigation into it. It said the incident, which happened at around 4.15am, involved the serious harm of the man, who later died. Fiosrú said that one of its on-call team of investigators attended the scene. It has been liaising with the Dublin City Coroner and the Office of the State Pathologist in relation to a post-mortem examination. A spokesman for An Garda Síochána said: 'A member of An Garda Síochána based in the Dublin region has been suspended from duty in connection with an ongoing investigation being carried out by the Office of the Police Ombudsman, Fiosrú.' Fiosrú has appealed for any witnesses to the incident to come forward. This includes any passing vehicles, including taxis, that may have dashcam footage from that location or on a mobile device. Anyone with information which may be of assistance to the independent investigation is asked to contact Fiosrú at 0818 600 800 or info@ The investigation team and its family liaison officer are working directly with the man's family. The Gardaí are legally required to report any incident involving death or serious harm to the ombudsman if it happened following an interaction with a Garda member.
