Carrigaline Community Stands Together | Cork News

A Carrigaline resident who suffered a brutal racist attack last month is rallying the community — and it’s working. Syed Haque, a 24-year Cork resident, was assaulted by a teen while walking with loved ones, told to “go back to your own country,” and suffered a severe eye injury. But instead of silence, the town erupted in unity: a powerful solidarity event drew locals and officials to condemn racism and celebrate inclusion. Haque, moved by the outpouring of support, called it his first such experience — and a turning point. The teen was arrested but released into a youth diversion program, as authorities stress the need for compassion and courage against prejudice. This moment proves Carrigaline stands firm: hate has no place here. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
