A group of locals from Ashtown in Dublin held a solidarity rally for migrants attacked in a nearby makeshift camp at the weekend.

The camp of several migrant working men, who could no longer afford rent, was abandoned following an attack from a group of Irish men, with several dogs, including an American pitbull terrier.
