Buses and trams burned in Dublin riots after children injured in knife attack
Irish police have condemned “gratuitous thuggery“ rioting that broke out in Dublin city centre in the aftermath of a knife attack which left three young children and a woman injured.
Angry impromptu protests in the aftermath of Thursday afternoon’s attack outside a school on Parnell Square East in the north inner city spiralled into a night of violence and disorder as buses, trams and at least one Garda vehicle were burned and a shop was looted on one of Dublin’s most famous thoroughfares, O’Connell Street.
There were clashes with riot police as some demonstrators let off flares and fireworks, while others flung chairs and stools grabbed from outside bars and restaurants.
A police cordon was set up around the Irish parliament building, Leinster House, late on Thursday night with officers from the Garda Mounted Support Unit in nearby Grafton Street, amid concerns the violence may have spread to the seat of Ireland’s democratic institutions.
Shortly before midnight, gardai said calm had been restored in the city.
