Public transport resumed but with restrictions in the O’Connell Street area today, following a night of violent riots in Dublin. As the city tries to regain normalcy, Dublin Fire Brigade continues to damp down a smoldering tram on O’Connell Street after it was set on fire during the chaos.
Barricades remain in place while police guard the looted Foot Locker store and the boarded-up Holiday Inn hotel. Law enforcement officers have been deployed to prevent further destruction and maintain order in the city center.
In a shocking turn of events, a five-year-old girl and a man in his late 40s sustained serious injuries in a stabbing incident. The suspect was swiftly arrested, but authorities have been tight-lipped about his nationality and any potential motives, including the possibility of a terror-related incident.
The recent surge in small anti-immigrant protests that have been witnessed in Dublin over the past year has raised concerns. The government is currently reviewing security measures around the parliament following a recent protest that escalated into violence.
It was a chaotic scene on O’Connell Street, with witnesses describing it as filled with screaming and crying. A woman in her 30s was also treated for serious injuries, while two other children suffered less severe injuries during the disturbances.
Anti-immigrant protesters managed to briefly break through a police barrier, further escalating the rioting and violence. Authorities are working diligently to disperse crowds and restore order in the affected area.
Dublin remains on edge as the night of unrest drew to a close around 9 p.m. local time, with crowds dispersing. However, the city remains on high alert as police continue to investigate the incidents and work towards bringing the situation under control.
As Dublin tries to recover from the aftermath of the riots, the community hopes for a swift resolution to the ongoing tensions and a return to peace and security in the city.
