Dublin Violence at a Level 'Not Seen for Decades

Dublin has witnessed unprecedented violence not seen in decades, Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar declared. He assured that those involved in the violent outbreak on Thursday would face the full consequences of the law.

Police arrested 34 individuals amid riots that erupted after a knife assault in the city center, leaving four wounded. Varadkar condemned the events, stating they disgraced Ireland.

Garda Commissioner Harris described the chaos as immense, attributing it to a small group of far-right extremists. In the turmoil, one officer sustained serious injuries, and there was significant property damage, including looting, as well as the destruction of police vehicles, a bus, and a tram.

Authorities also reported that a five-year-old girl is under emergency care due to the knife assault, along with three other victims: a woman in her thirties and two more children, ages five and six.

The police are not currently seeking any suspects beyond a male involved in the incident, and they remain open-minded regarding the motive.
