Violent Protests In Dublin After Woman And Children Stabbed In Attack

 

The Republic of Ireland’s capital, Dublin, saw the worst violent protest in years after a stabbing attack that left three children and a mother hurt.

The victims were stabbed by a man outside the school who was carrying a knife. After the violent encounter, they were brought to the hospital. The stabbing attack resulted in significant injuries for them. In Parnell Square East, north central Dublin, there was a stabbing that left a five-year-old girl, two other children, and two adults seriously hurt. The two adults were a mother and the person suspected of carrying out the crime.

Dublin saw violent protests following the sad event. Dublin’s city center saw disturbances during which buses and trams were set on fire. After starting on Thursday afternoon, the demonstration turned violent. They robbed stores in Dublin and engaged in ongoing combat with the police. While some demonstrators took chairs and stools from stores, others provoked the police with slogans and fired off pyrotechnics.

Leinster House, the Irish parliament building, and Garda Mounted Support Unit officers were also the sites of protests. During disturbances, some police officers had also been beaten and attacked.

Flames from a burning bus and car were visible in a widely shared video on X, formerly Twitter. “Irish Lives Matter” was written on signs held by a few demonstrators.

Helen McEntee, minister of justice, promised to act appropriately. Attacks on law enforcement officials “cannot and will not be tolerated,” according to Helen McEntee.
