A rally is being held in Limerick today after a series of attacks which culminated in two young children being burned in an alleged arson.
Organisers of the protest said they wanted to show solidarity with those subjected to violence and anti-social behaviour.
The suspected arson attack on a car on September 10th left two children badly burned at Pineview Gardens.
Six-year-old Millie McNamara and her four-year-old brother, Gavin, suffered critical injuries in the attack, which occurred as they sat in their mother's parked car as she prepared to drive away from a friend's house.
Local councillors were also due to attend today's event.
Mother-of-two Sharon Clancy organised the public meeting to take place outside Limerick City Hall at 2pm.
She said: "If people don't stand up it will be ignored. Politicians will say something has to be done, but then the next big drama occurs and they move on to that."
