Man violently assaulted and partially stripped by gang in Tallaght
Gardaí have opened an investigation after a man was violently assaulted and partially stripped by a group of attackers in Tallaght, Dublin , on Saturday. The man, who in his 40s and originally from India, was set upon by a group of young men and severely beaten before passersby came to his aid. Saturday's incident occurred at about 6pm and left the man bleeding from multiple wounds. The attackers had removed his trousers. The assault is being investigated as a possible hate crime, sources said. READ MORE It is understood the group had falsely accused the man of acting inappropriately around children. These claims were later spread online, including by prominent far-right and anti-immigrant accounts. Garda sources said there is no truth to accusations the man was acting inappropriately. 'Gardaí in Tallaght were alerted to an incident at Parkhill Road, Tallaght, Dublin 24, on the evening of Saturday 19th, July, 2025, at approximately 6pm,' a Garda spokesman said. 'Gardaí attended the scene and a male, aged in his 40s was taken to Tallaght University Hospital with injuries.' The man was released from hospital early on Sunday morning. Investigators believe some of the attackers have carried out other unprovoked attacks on foreign nationals in the Tallaght area recently. Paul Murphy, a People Before Profit TD for the area, condemned the assault. 'It's horrifying to see a vicious attack like this happen in our neighbourhood. 'Responsibility lies not just with those who perpetrated the violence but also with those who have been spreading racist lies. The community is really shocked and outraged and will stand together against violence, hate and division.' There have been a number of incidents of foreign nationals being attacked in recent months after being falsely accused of inappropriate behaviour. Earlier this month, an asylum seeker in Limerick was assaulted after he was falsely accused by a far-right group of inappropriate approaches to young children. Videos were shared on social media, and gardaí believe the man was singled out for attack the next day by someone in Limerick who recognised him from the footage. The victim was an international protection applicant in his 40s from Afghanistan . Gardaí described as 'misinformation and disinformation' the videos of the man recorded in the city's People's Park as people surrounded him and accused him of inappropriate approaches to young children. Earlier this week, Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan said he is aware of instances of foreign nationals being falsely accused of crimes. '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,' he said. 'So there's no substance to the suggestion that immigrants are more likely to commit a criminal offence.'

Man charged with assault at IPAS centre ordered not to incite hate on social media
A plumber, who allegedly voiced 'extremist' views during an alleged assault and criminal damage at an International Protection Accommodation Services (IPAS) centre, has been ordered to avoid attending rallies and making social media posts that incite hate or violence. Declan Stubbs (34) of Bolbrook Drive, Tallaght, Dublin, was told 'people have a right to be in the State' by Judge Catherine Ghent at Dublin District Court on Saturday. The warning came at the end of a bail ruling after Mr Stubbs was charged with causing €1,000 worth of criminal damage by kicking the door of St John's House, an IPAS centre, on High Street, Tallaght, during a drink-fuelled incident on Friday. He also had a connected charge for trespassing at the IPAS centre, a minor assault of a named male there, resisting arrest, using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour and being intoxicated to the extent of being a danger to himself and others. READ MORE Garda Gavin Cribbin objected to bail due to the seriousness of the incident, telling the court Mr Stubbs was accused of assaulting a security guard after he had to be removed from the building and kicked the door. The garda said Mr Stubs was arrested at the IPAS centre and that there was video footage. The court heard claims Mr Stubbs expressed 'extremist political, anti-immigration views'. Garda Cribbin feared the accused would interfere with staff or residents at the centre. Defence counsel Kevin McCrave argued his client could be freed on bail with conditions. He told Judge Ghent that the father of one had received bad personal news on Friday, was off his medication and could not remember threatening anyone because he was intoxicated. Counsel said his client worked full-time for a company and paid rent. Setting bail, Judge Ghent ordered Mr Stubbs not to go within 3km of the IPAS centre, except when he has to sign on three days a week at the nearby Garda station. He also has to provide his phone number. She ordered Mr Stubbs to refrain from making extremist posts on social media, 'for clarity, they are posts that would incite hate and/or violence'. The garda did not believe Mr Stubbs attended immigration-related rallies. However, the judge directed him not to attend rallies or marches reasonably considered as inciting hatred or violence. She told him that breaking the bail terms would not be tolerated and would put him in a difficult situation. Disclosure of evidence to the defence was ordered. Mr Stubbs was ordered to appear at Tallaght District Court on September 8th to enter a plea.
