They depict Xenophobic attacks happening on the streets of Dublin terrifying everyone and attacking individuals.   “It has been a worrying trend since the lockdowns began. A targeted policing plan is needed to stamp this out – the street should be safe for everyone.” “The government should allocate extra resources in the upcoming budget to ensure safer streets and public transport.”  Tags: [Latest News](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/tag/latest-news) , [Catherine Ardagh](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/tag/catherine-ardagh) --- ## **Related news:** April 26, 2021 --- ##### [Drug and Alcohol Task Forces appeal for PPE equipment – Ardagh](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/drug-and-alcohol-task-forces-appeal-for-ppe-equipment-ardagh) [![](https://www.fiannafail.ie/hubfs/fianna-theme/icons/arrow-next.svg) ](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/drug-and-alcohol-task-forces-appeal-for-ppe-equipment-ardagh) [![Senators O’Loughlin and Ardagh call for ‘absolute support’ for IVF treatment roll out through public hospitals ](https://www.fiannafail.ie/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Catherine_Ardagh_FF_DublinSouthCentral.jpg)](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/senators-oloughlin-and-ardagh-call-for-absolute-support-for-ivf-treatment-roll-out-through-public-hospitals) April 26, 2021 --- ##### [Senators O’Loughlin and Ardagh call for ‘absolute support’ for IVF treatment roll out through public hospitals ](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/senators-oloughlin-and-ardagh-call-for-absolute-support-for-ivf-treatment-roll-out-through-public-hospitals) [![](https://www.fiannafail.ie/hubfs/fianna-theme/icons/arrow-next.svg) ](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/senators-oloughlin-and-ardagh-call-for-absolute-support-for-ivf-treatment-roll-out-through-public-hospitals) [![Senator O’Loughlin calls for urgent breastfeeding supports for mums  ](https://www.fiannafail.ie/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Fiona_OLoughlin_FF_KildareSouth-2.jpg)](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/senator-oloughlin-calls-for-urgent-breastfeeding-supports-for-mums) April 26, 2021 --- ##### [Senator O’Loughlin calls for urgent breastfeeding supports for mums  ](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/senator-oloughlin-calls-for-urgent-breastfeeding-supports-for-mums) [![](https://www.fiannafail.ie/hubfs/fianna-theme/icons/arrow-next.svg) ](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/senator-oloughlin-calls-for-urgent-breastfeeding-supports-for-mums) [![O’Loughlin calls for a domestic abuse shelter for men to be established](https://www.fiannafail.ie/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Fiona_OLoughlin_FF_KildareSouth-Apr-26-2021-10-32-37-07-PM.jpg)](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/oloughlin-calls-for-a-domestic-abuse-shelter-for-men-to-be-established) November 22, 2021 --- ##### [O’Loughlin calls for a domestic abuse shelter for men to be established](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/oloughlin-calls-for-a-domestic-abuse-shelter-for-men-to-be-established) [![](https://www.fiannafail.ie/hubfs/fianna-theme/icons/arrow-next.svg) ](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/oloughlin-calls-for-a-domestic-abuse-shelter-for-men-to-be-established)
