Disturbing footage surfaced last week of a 14-year-old boy being violently assaulted by other school children. His family have spoken out about the incident and claimed that the attack was due to his sexuality.
The Garda (Irish Police) have arrested five youths over the incident, but they were released without charge and referred to a juvenile diversion program.
Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said the incident is one that everyone would condemn universally.
Keen, who describes herself as a women’s rights campaigner, took to Twitter and said the attack was part of a backlash against all queer people because of their support for transgender people.
