A community event to promote inclusion and solidarity will take place in Carrigaline, Co Cork, on Monday, following a racist attack in the town last month.

Syed Haque, a father of two who works for a Cork logistics company, was walking with family and friends when he was repeatedly punched by a teenager and told to “go back to your own country”.
