The family of the teenage girl assaulted in west Dublin over a week ago are asking people to wear something green tomorrow at a vigil organised by the local community.

The gesture is to "show support" for Alanna Quinn Idris, who suffered serious injuries, including to an eye, in the attack. The event is being held at 11am at the Ballyfermot Civic Centre, near where the 17-year-old was set upon.
