Five members of the LGBTQ+ community were reportedly attacked in St Stephen's Green after Pride on Saturday.
Three people in the group were hospitalised, including a 19-year-old trans-man who remains in hospital with a "fractured scull and abnormalities in the brain".
A friend of the group got in touch with Dublin TD Aodhan O Riordain to highlight the incident. They said: "Just messaging you on behalf of some LGBTQ+ friends. They don't want to be identified but Saturday, after Pride, five of them were attacked at 6:50pm in Stephen's Green.

"Three of them were hospitalised. One of them (age 19, trans-man) is currently still in hospital with a fractured skull and abnormalities showing on their brain.
"They just want to let people know that for all the happy and colourful stuff that happens at Pride, these attacks are going on in the background. I offered to pass this information on."
Deputy O Riordain said online: "This message was sent to me today from someone whose friends were attacked after Pride on Saturday. We cannot be complacent. Being LGBT+ means you are more likely to be assaulted."
A garda spokesman told Dublin Live: "Gardaí attended at the scene of a public order incident at Saint Stephens Green, Dublin 2 shortly before 7pm on 25 June, 2022.
