Muslim women seek apology for prayer ban

Two Muslim women told to stop praying in a public park are to ask for a formal apology and a donation to charity from Dublin City Council (DCC) and the security company involved.

Following an article in yesterday’s Irish Examiner, the security company Manguard Plus suspended the worker who had shouted at the women to stop praying in Griffith Park, Drumcondra, on Aug 10.

One of the women, Sajida, said the Manguard employee told them they needed a permit to pray in the park and they might hurt their backs and sue DCC.
