owmya Paul, 44, has been working in Ireland for about two decades, but she is still perceived as an outsider. “I have been shouted at and asked to leave the country,” said the nurse, who hails from Ernakulam, Kerala.
Sowmya was among the 500-odd people, half of them South Asian, who marched through central Dublin on July 26, 2025, calling attention towards the recent spate of attacks against Indians in Ireland. Walking from the city hall to the gate of Leinster House, the seat of Parliament, the protesters carried placards and shouted slogans.
