Several performers and members of the crews of the Lion King musical in Dublin have been subjected to a racial attack.
The Bord Gáis Energy Theatre has condemned the abuse, that happened on their way home from the venue, as vile and appalling.

The incident has been reported to Gardaí and the theatre says it plans to put supports in place for those affected.
The company said it will make a donation to the Irish Network Against Racism, to support their work in fighting all forms of discrimination.
