Lá India in Áras Farmleigh ar ceal ar chúinsí sábháilteachta. The Indian Council of Ireland has announced that there will be no major festival celebrating India's National Day in Farmleigh House in Phoenix Park next Saturday as planned due to safety concerns in light of recent attacks on people of Indian origin. Tá Comhairle India na hÉireann tar éis fógairt nach mbeidh féile mhór ag ceiliúradh Lá Náisiúnta India in Áras Farmleigh i bPáirc an Fhionnuisce Dé Sathairn seo chugainn mar a bhí beartaithe ar chúinsí sábháilteachta i bhfianaise ionsaithe atá déanta le gairid ar dhaoine de bhunú India. Speaking in front of Government Houses after a meeting with the Tánaiste, Council chairman Prashant Shuki said "it is not currently appropriate to celebrate the national holiday, and we will review in the future to arrive at a new date for India Day." Ag labhairt dó os comhair Thithe an Rialtais tar éis chruinniú a bheith aige leis an Tánaiste dúirt cathaoirleach na Comhairle Prashant Shuki "nach bhfuil sé fabhrach faoi láthair an fhéile náisiúnta a cheiliúradh, agus beidh athbhreithniú againn amach anseo le theacht ar dháta nua do Lá India." Mr Shuki said they had consulted extensively, with the Gardaí and others, and said it was a difficult decision. Dúirt an tUasal Shuki go raibh caidreamh déanta go forleathan acu, leis na Gardaí agus le dreamanna eile, agus dúirt sé gur cinneadh deacair a bhí ann. He said they had been advised that there was no cause for concern about the events planned in Phoenix Park but "we were concerned about the celebration of the festival in other parts of the country." Dúirt sé go raibh comhairle faighte acu nach raibh aon údar imní faoi na himeachtaí a bhí beartaithe i bPáirc an Fhionnuisce ach "bhí imní orainn faoi cheiliúradh na féile i n-áiteacha eile sa tír." The Council has organized India Day every year since 2015, without any problems they said until this year. Tá Lá India eagraithe gach bliain ag an gComhairle ó 2015, gan aon fhadhb a dúirt siad go dtí i mbliana. Another group, the Federation of Indian Communities in Ireland, which also met with Minister Simon Harris, says it will continue as planned with Saturday's festival on Merrion Square in the centre of the capital. Deir grúpa eile, Cónaidhm na bPobal Indiacha i nÉirinn, a raibh cruinniú freisin acu leis an Aire Simon Harris go mbeidh siad féin ag leanacht mar a bhí beartaithe le féile Dé Sathairn ar Chearnóg Mhuirfean i lár na príomhcathrach. Last week, Colm Brophy, the Minister of State with Responsibility for Immigration, called for greater and stronger action from the Gardaí, and the newly appointed Garda Commissioner, following a series of attacks on people of Indian origin. An tseachtain seo caite a d'iarr Colm Brophy, an tAire Stáit ar a bhfuil Freagracht faoin Imirce, gníomh níos mó agus níos láidre óna Gardaí, agus ón gCoimisinéir nua- cheaptha ar na Gardaí, tar éis sraith ionsaithe a bhí déanta ar dhaoine de bhunú India. This was after the Indian Embassy in Dublin issued a warning to Indian citizens living and working in Ireland. Ba shin tar éis d'Ambasáid India i mBaile Átha Cliath foláireamh a chur amach ag saoránaigh de chuid India atá ina gcónaí agus ag obair i nÉirinn. More than 100 people from that country originally participated in a silent protest at the Department of Justice last month. Ghlac breis is 100 duine as an tír sin ó dhúchas páirt in agóid chiúin ag an Roinn Dlí agus Cirt an mhí seo caite. The Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, Dermot Farrell, said he was deeply saddened by the attacks and said he understood that people from India were scared and fearful of the unprovoked attacks.
