At the gathering of drivers in Dublin, many claimed that little attention is paid to the problems they encounter. Among those in attendance were Bolivian workers who were assaulted in Temple Bar on Friday night by a man with a knife and bottle. One of the victims, Daniel, showed the injury to his back he had sustained in the incident.
“It’s a surprise,” he said. “I’m from Bolivia and I feel more secure in my country. I don’t know if it’s because they want to steal from us or they are racist, but I never experienced this situation in my life.” “Sometimes people throw bottles or stones or hit your bag to knock you over … for them, it just seems to be fun,” he said. He told the meeting that in recent days somebody had thrown water over him as he collected food from a branch of KFC. His initial fear, he said, had been that it might be acid.Bicycle theft was another problem highlighted with Debora Santana, also from Brazil, telling gardaí that somebody had attempted to steal her bike in Portobello earlier in the day.
Fiachra Ó Luain of ELSU said there was a fear that further problems might arise when riders sought to retrieve the bikes themselves.
