Ireland’s deputy premier Micheal Martin has condemned the rioting in Dublin, saying “this is not who we are as a people”. Justice Minister Helen McEntee also told colleagues that officers are trawling 6,000 hours of CCTV footage and vowed that further arrests would follow the 34 already made. She also insisted that the police force has all the resources necessary to keep people in Dublin safe over the weekend, including securing the use of two water cannons from the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI). Friday’s live updates on the Dublin riots: Gardaí say 34 people arrested after riotous mob causes huge destruction Summary of main incidents on Thursday
An incident room has been established at Mountjoy Garda station and a senior investigating officer has been appointed. A police cordon was set up around the Irish parliament building, Leinster House, and officers from the Garda Mounted Support Unit were in nearby Grafton Street. The school started out as an all-Irish secondary school in the 1930s and, later, included a private all-Irish primary school which prepared boys aged 7-12 for entry to second level.And I would say that this is not who we are as a people, Ireland has built a modern and inclusive society. It is something precious that we should all work to hold,” he said. Ireland's Taoiseach (premier) Leo Varadkar also broke his silence on yesterday's events, saying that those involved had "brought shame on Dublin, brought shame on Ireland and brought shame on their families and themselves". Large groups had earlier attempted to break through a police cordon, and threw fireworks at officers. Multiple cars including one car belonging to Gardai have also been torched.
In a second garda briefing on the stabbings on Thursday evening, Garda Commissioner Drew Harris said the gardaí were not ruling anything out in relation to the stabbings. President’s statement The garda superintendent added: "We are dealing not just with the parents of the three children, but parents of the wider group that would have seen and potentially be traumatised as a result of what happened this afternoon.However, he said no serious injuries had been reported by gardaí or members of the public. Gardaí remained on patrol in the city centre, he said, adding: “Dublin city centre is now calm and returning to normal.” At around 1.30pm on Thursday, a person knifed a woman and the three young children aged between five and six outside the Gaelscoil Choláiste Mhuire primary school in the city centre. Siobhán Kearney heard “screaming” and “spotted a guy with a stabbing motion across the road”, she said. Supt Geraghty said that a male in his 40s is a person of interest in the investigation. Gardaí are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident. We're aware that the public are concerned about the activities that have happened today. The message to them is that we believe that this is a standalone incident, not necessarily connected to any wider issues that are ongoing in the country or in the city, and we need to identify the exact reasons for that happening.
