      Yes I was quite amazed to read about this. In your view, is the anti-immigrant sentiment targetting Ukraininans or is it broader than that?

      I hope you stay safe!

        These feral scumbags get riled up misleadingly on twitter and tic tok and use our governments failure to build enough housing as an excuse to target any non Irish group, it wasn’t a protest it was an opportunity for them to loot and wreck the city they claim to love

          Thanks for the explanation.

          Ugh. Social media can be a blessing or a curse, increasingly the latter when its fueled by hate-driven algorithms.

            Warnings about a surge of hate posts targeting Dublin on swastika (X, formerly twitter) were posted within hours of the attack.
