"Ireland Isn't Safe": Indian Man Living Abroad Issues Warning After Brutal Mob Attack In Dublin
Days after a mob in Dublin brutally attacked an Indian man, another Indian national has issued a stark warning, urging fellow citizens to avoid coming to Ireland. "Can't believe I'm saying this, but Ireland isn't safe," wrote X user Daksh, who has been living in the country for the past three years. He shared that he once considered Ireland an "amazing" place to live, but the recent violent incident has changed his perception. "Can't wait to go back home. Always thought it was such an amazing country when I got here 3 years ago, made some amazing friends with the locals here, but this place is going to the dogs," Daksh wrote. "I would've told people earlier to come here and live. The quality of life is amazing, the people are usually the kindest. Please try your hand at Germany/UK instead. Better yet, the US if you're seeking work/study abroad. This place is about to implode," he continued, adding that while racists may still be a minority, "now they're dangerous as well". I would've told people earlier to come here and live. The quality of life is amazing, the people are usually the kindest. Please try your hand at Germany/UK instead. Better yet, the US if you're seeking work/study abroad. This place is about to implode. The racists are a small… — Daksh (@globalwaffles) July 24, 2025 The post has triggered a flurry of reactions, with many users expressing their concerns over rising racism and safety issues in Europe and the West. "Hi Daksh. I've read many stories about Ireland recently and I always used to think this situation will implode. However, would suggest you not speak so openly about it while you're still there, for obvious reasons," one user wrote. "Sorry to say Daksh, but Germany is also a pass. Been living there for the last six years, people are unfriendly A*. I'd still pass to the UK or US," commented another. "Even UK and USA are not safe, brother. Don't know the recent obsession with foreign countries. People spend huge amounts to go abroad and get nothing. Instead, invest the same amount in business here or on studies," said another user. "I started taking your post seriously untill you mentioned "try your hand at Germany/UK".. Bro seriously? That's like goat that lives with a shepherd changes its mind, decides to stay with a butcher," one user wrote. "As an American-born & raised, please DO NOT come here, it is not safe. I never faced overt racism until 2017, but I don't feel safe in my country anymore as an Indian-origin woman. I'm lucky to be very pretty & look young, so even racists are nice to my face. But it's scary here," shared another. The X post comes days after an Indian citizen in his 40s was violently assaulted and partially stripped by a group of attackers in Tallaght, Dublin. The man was falsely accused of being a paedophile before being stabbed in the face and stripped naked, according to the woman who rescued him. The case is being investigated by the Gardai (Irish National Police) as a possible hate crime.

Ireland not safe: Indian man's viral post after attack on Amazon employee
A viral social media post by an Indian man living in Ireland has triggered a wave of online debate after he said the country is no longer safe for immigrants and is 'going to the dogs.'

Can't wait to go back home,' Daksh wrote in a thread that has since been widely circulated. 'Always thought it was such an amazing country when I got here 3 years ago, made some amazing friends with the locals here, but this place is going to the dogs.' He added that while Ireland was once on his list of recommended destinations for Indian students and professionals, he now advises against it. 'I would've told people earlier to come here and live. The quality of life is amazing, the people are usually the kindest,' he said. 'Please try your hand at Germany/UK instead. Better yet, the US if you're seeking work/study abroad.'The tipping point for Daksh was the recent knife attack on a fellow Indian immigrant. According to his post, the victim had only arrived in Ireland a week earlier to begin working for Amazon. 'Some Indian guy who got here last week working for Amazon got stabbed by some teenagers,' Daksh what shocked him more than the violence itself was the online reaction. 'What's shocking is people rather than condemning it are calling him a pedo, justifying the attack, blaming immigrants and telling them to go back.'

However, no arrests have been made as of now. The right-wing gang accused the victim of acting inappropriately around children. However, the police has dismissed such allegations completely. The victim has been released from hospital on Sunday. Investigators think the assailants may have launched similar unprovoked attacks on foreign nationals in the Tallaght area recently. Ireland is home to around 1 lakh Indians – many of them professionals who work in healthcare and Information Technology. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Attacks against minorities including from South Asia have been on the rise over the past few years.

What are authorities saying? The Indian government is in touch with its Irish counterparts. Indian Ambassador Akhilesh Mishra told The Hindu India's Embassy has been in contact with authorities. Mishra said Indians in Ireland have been left anxious by the attack. 'The horrible attack has naturally caused widespread concern and fear in the local Indian community. Embassy is in touch with the victim, the larger community and has taken up the matter with various Irish authorities,' Mishra said. Mishra earlier took to X to slam the reporting about the case. 'How can an 'ALLEGED' assault cause such horrible injury & bleeding?' he asked. However, Mishra thanked the Irish police for their help.

'People need to understand that many Indian people moving to Ireland are here on work permits, to study and work in the healthcare sector or in IT and so on, providing critical skills", he added. Seán Crowe, Sinn Fein TD for Dublin South-West, called the incident 'violent and racist'. Crowe said the incident was 'vile and utterly unacceptable on so many levels'. 'Anyone who thinks this sort of mindless, racist violence makes their community safer is lying and fooling no one. Some residents are increasingly nervous to leave their homes due to this type of behaviour, regardless of whether they are new arrivals to our community or have lived here all their lives. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'I condemn this attack entirely and call on anyone with any information relating to this incident to reach out to the garda authorities. This is not the first such attack in our area, but it has to be the last', he added. Local People Before Profit TD Paul Murphy said, 'The local community is in shock at this appalling attack. This appears to be the latest in a series of recent racially motivated attacks by a gang in the area. Those responsible must be found and stopped'. Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan added, 'Increasingly, you hear of people blaming immigrants for crimes. All I can say to you is: I have asked for the statistics and when you look at the prison population of people convicted of offences, the percentage of immigrants in prison is lower than the percentage of immigrants in society.
