A family from Cork were the victims of an unprovoked attack by a group of young drunken Dubliners while holidaying in the Costa del Sol last weekend.

The family believe they were attacked because one of them was wearing a Cork jersey. The attack took place after the All-Ireland football final on Sunday evening.

Speaking from the family home in Farranree yesterday, Caroline O'Connor said it was a disgrace that Irish people would attack other Irish people abroad.

"I think they were just using the Cork jersey as an excuse and were looking for a fight," she told the Irish Examiner.

Ms O'Connor said her family members were scratched, punched and dragged on to the ground and were then kicked about the head by a gang of up to 10 men and women.

They did not require hospital treatment, but were badly shaken by the episode.

that is absolutely horrible

to attack someone for wearing a jersey, while on holiday

sickening to think of

Where does it mention that they were attacked because they were from Cork, other than the family feeling sorry for themselves cause they lost?

Speaking from the family home yesterday, the family issued a further statement:

"Although our family were very shaken by the attack, the incident has at least legitimized the gargantuan sense of self-importance, grievance and obsession with our betters in the capital that, as Cork people, is ours by birthright".

The Jackeens gave abuse to the family because one was wearing a cork jersey and then decided to attack them.

The only good thing that ever came out of Dublin is the road that takes you away from it.

dublin is the the heart and soul of this country, its the fulcrum of everything and its what makes the rest of this ****hole seem ok. it is an enigma and dubliners are forced to keep the rest of this country running all the while the village people in their bogs complain about us.

By all accounts a horrible expierence for the family in question but coming out with that staement ( below) , which may /may not be tounge in cheek ( hard to fathom with some cork people ) it doesn't actually gain them any kudos

OP, your attempt to start a Dublin-bashing thread is... subtle.

Maybe they didn't attack the person because of the Cork jersey either - maybe they just attacked them because they would have attacked anyone in the wrong place at the wrong time. It only says they "believe" it was the jersey...

Bogs? The main bogs in Ireland are in midlands and that's only a small part of Ireland
Besides you'll find a lot of non-Dubs moved to Dublin to take your jobs!
While ye were hanging around your tenements and flats!

Are these the same Dubs who come onto boards and say they were going into "town" when they don't even live in a town or ever mention which city?
