Anger over attack on Spanish students

LOCAL youths, backed up by adults, who attacked a group of about 50 young Spanish students with stones in Skerries, Co Dublin in broad daylight must be brought to book, Fine Gael’s Dr James Reilly urged yesterday.

While none of the students, who are in their early teens, was seriously injured, two were too upset and frightened to continue their holiday in Ireland and have returned to Spain.

A number of people living in Skerries contacted RTÉ’s Liveline yesterday to express their disgust at the attack but were too afraid to identify themselves.
