Yeah, it's gotten pretty bad here in the past few years. Ireland's a country built on emmigration until about ten years ago, when our ecomony boomed. Now we've immigrants, and there's quite a bit of culture shock, plus the general public see foreigners who've only come in to scab off the social welfare (not an undeserved reputation in some cases, unfortunately), and hate them for it. It's a problem, and I can only hope it'll get better with time.
Were those incidents late at night? O'Connell's Street gets pretty nasty when the night-clubs empty. Thousands of drunken teenagers and young people - lots of fights.

i dont think alcohol has anything to do with rasicm. it might help to open your mouth and more freely express your thoughts towards other people . but if you dont say that you hate asians or blacks just because you're not drunk enough that doesnt mean you're a better person. imo. those fights on o'connell street happens not because of differences in race.
You have just said word for word nearly what the taxi driver said to him this morning when he picked him up at the Airport.
Yeah they were late at night, he starts work at 5pm in the afternoon and finishes at 2am every morning, then has to try and get a taxi on O'Connell Street back to his flat..
He just laughs though, he doesnt take anything to heart, he actually really likes Dublin, although he says its expensive. Hopefully I'll find out for myself next weekend when I have my first visit...
