A policeman is seriously injured in hospital after a night of “huge destruction by a riotous mob” in Dublin on Thursday.
Garda officers made 34 arrests after what police chief Drew Harris called the country’s worst public disorder “for decades”.
He told a press conference on Friday morning that 11 police vehicles had been destroyed and “numerous” officers injured in the violence which involved an “element of radicalisation”.
Thirteen shops were looted during the rioting that was triggered after at least three people were injured in a knife attack outside a school in the city centre.
A five-year-old girl and a teacher in her 30s remain in a “serious condition” in hospital, he added.

I may have missed it, but do we know the full name of the perpetrator and his background?
Worse to come…….start listening to the people!
Correction : Worst government in decades. FTFY.
First America them France and now Ireland, which country is next 😒

Let's see what politicians make of this violence. Will they say: "immigration is not a problem, only people who are against it are" – "or will they say "some parts of our population seems to be discontent with the way we have been handling immigration. Let's find out what the silent majority thinks of all this. If necessary, we need to adjust our policies."
Why not ask the police up front to pick a side? Aren't the living men and women acting as police liable for their actions? And due to the Nuremberg trials, has it not been proved that "I was just following orders" is not a valid defence and could lead to a higher form of lawful punishment for such men and women?
Wake up Europa
That not good,burning police car,destory shops,not peacefull any more
What does these breaking of stores andburnings of property has anything to do with the incident?
This is only a dozen of people, think what will happend when even 20% of the population has enough of your failed ruling.. its gonna be biblical !
Auch in diesem Land feiern die Migranten ihre Straßen Party. Man kann nicht genug von denen haben 😂😂😢😢😢😢
If the Irish do not return to Catholicism, Ireland will become another Muslim caliphate (maybe it already is).
There is undoubtedly a problem, but it isn't the people; rather, the government is the one who is blind to the consequences of its "virtuous" policies.
How's all that unvetted immigration going?
i fckn love the irish ! Stay Strong Brothers !
Fight the power ✊ ftp ⛳
People keep saying here that the West needs to be careful with who it allows in, but really it's Europe that is too lenient. Other Western countries aren't having so much of a problem – NZ, Australia, Canada, etc. Even in the US, most illegal Mexicans are there as the Mexican wages are so low and they aren't bothering Americans and they just want to get on with life, so most Americans are ok with them. What has been allowed to happen in Europe is just ridiculous. Just too many people from cultures that are so vastly different and they have no interest in fitting in.
Drew Harris is an enemy of Ireland
Destroying your own country’s infrastructure yeah that will make people want to live there 😂 Irish don’t think before doing something 😂
