Gang of youths are targeting homosexuals

A GAY man seriously injured in an assault last weekend is the latest victim of a gang of youths targeting homosexuals in Dublin, a Labour deputy has claimed.

Joe Costello, Labour’s spokesman on justice, said the man aged in his 30s may have suffered brain damage.

A friend of the family, Mr Costello said it was the second time the victim was attacked because he is gay. The previous assault happened just a week before, the TD said.
