Shocking eyewitness videos captured the scene in Dublin city centre last night, as rioting broke out in the wake of a serious stabbing incident.
Violent mobs roamed the Irish capital, setting fire to vehicles and clashing with police.
The unrest was sparked by an incident of horrific violence earlier in the day, which took place in Parnell Square East.
Three children and a woman were injured in a suspected knife attack outside a school. Police detained a man in his 50s, who was also injured.
No motive has yet been determined and terrorism has not been ruled out, police say.
In response, a heated demonstration began near the crime scene on Thursday evening, with protesters attempting to break through a police cordon.
The garda commissioner, Drew Harris, said a “complete lunatic faction driven by far-right ideology” was behind the disorder.
A police car and double-decker bus were destroyed during rioting, a hotel was badly damaged and a Foot Locker store looted.
Locals have been urged to stay away from the city centre this morning and work from home.

Please phrase this correctly. This was a peaceful, but fiery protest, mostly the former. Stop smearing white people
Donde esta la racionalidad de las personas???…..cada vez mas bestias…..nada absolutamente nada!!! justifica este tipo de violencia..estamos cada vez mas cuaternarios.
I feel so bad😥😥😥😥😥😮😮😮😮😮😪😪😪😪😪😫😫😫😫😤😤😢😢😭😭😭
I feel scared for them
I think it’s safe to say these are mostly peaceful riots. Shocking! But what’s more shocking is the media is not shocked children being stabbed, and then acting shocked when people lose it in response!
They aren't concerned citizens! They are opportunists who are mobing in the name of justice
this is not mob violence, it’s people fed up with mass migration and an establishment that’s not listening, carry on you are sleep walking into a nightmare.
I wonder if the people "fed up with mass migration" know it was an immigrant that stopped the stabbing?
Stop social media..its, pics chats datesites , biggest psychological weapon , Globally, most, kids – adults,, rich poor mentally ill all races religion ages 👺🤳 giving sh£**y opinions bad influence
Am probs outnumbered 3/4billion to 1 worst part is who judges anyway ? Grimreaper? Mssge to everyone, Do the planet unconditional goodness !!! idgaf about this modernism turd of fairy death.
These immigrants torching up cars and destroying public property should not be allowed to be in Ireland
Any religion that still calls for the death of others not of their "religion" in this 21st century, is NOT a religion. They are taking advantage of tolerance and diversity!
How many innocents must die thanks to our spineless politicians?
Why burn and loot. It makes no sense. All I see is scumbags wrecking the place. My thoughts are with the Children that were injured and all the other victims 🙏
Why Ireland? why now?
Don't be stupid.. this is to stop the Irish from supporting Gaza
This is from Israel with love.. its a punishment for the Irish government for not standing with Israel
Israelis stirring up trouble…..In peaceful countries….!
Disgusting to steteptype the rioters as right wing, unemployed and drug pushers. The right wing is far broader than that and if the idology was a motivation, the rioters would be from all kinds of background but all acting as a mob. Whatever their concern about immigrants, they should take it up with govt because the likely hood is govt foreign policy is at fault, not the deranged individual alone.
Mob violence I suppose you'd be chill if it was your child. Yeah. Unbelievable shameful.
Response to stabbings is bullshit, only what they doing it's wait situation like this use for crime, devastating and robbery stores, I'm sick of these anarchist and antifa riots…..🤬🤬🤬
Media at it once more.
Adolf Hitler destroyed Europe blatantly and transiently. EU has destroyed Europe concealedly and permanently.
How does this help exactly?
All these people concerned about looting are forgetting these stores have been robbing the public for years.
Protecting children and being angry at violence against them is bow considered far right
"Dublin Riots: Mob Violence in City Centre in Response to Stabbings" well someone has to respond as the police and the Government aren't doing anything about it, they would let these ILLIGAL immigrant stab everyone in Ireland because they are scared of being called racist.
Protect your country
Well. You don’t see this news on Al Jazeera ( anti -west propaganda channel funded by terrorists)
What's with labelling people as 'far right'? What are you trying to achieve by that?
Why not report on the condition of the 5 yr old who was stabbed?
Are you covering up something, or are 5 yr old babies being stabbed of no interest to you?
