Widespread mob violence in Dublin city. Trains and police cars were smashed and burnt. Five people, including three children, were taken to hospital this afternoon after being stabbed outside a school in Dublin. The Gardai were then attacked by a group of 30 to 40 people.
Crowds confronted gardaà in the streets around Parnell Square East this evening. Bottles and rubbish were thrown at gardaà and set alight and firecrackers were thrown at officers. Online footage shows multiple cars - including garda cars - damaged or set alight during tonight's violence. Footage on social media this evening shows multiple incidents of assaults on gardaÃ.
"There's an absolute, crazy hooligan sect driven by far-right ideology, and there's this destructive tendency to engage in serious violence," Harris told reporters at a briefing. "We are putting the resources in place to deal with it and will deal with it properly." “I understand a number of garda vehicles have been damaged. But in terms of arrests and injuries, I cannot give details now,” he added.
Don't listen to misinformation and rumors spread on social media," "Facts are being established but facts are still unclear and a lot of rumors and rumors are being spread for malicious purposes." Garda Superintendent Liam Geraghty said earlier today that the cause of the attack earlier today was "absolutely unclear" and that investigators were satisfied there was no terrorism-related activity. Gardaà have not commented on the nationality of the attacker.
This comes after five people, including three children, were injured in a stabbing outside a school in Parnell Square East. One of the children - a little girl - is in emergency medical treatment tonight. A boy and girl, aged five and six, suffered less serious injuries - the boy was discharged from hospital. The assailant is believed to be an injured adult male. Gardaà said they were not looking for anyone else.
