Last Thursday’s riots in Dublin, and the brutal stabbing of children and a teacher outside a school on Parnell Square, have left the nation in shock. Five days on, the capital’s streets have been cleaned up and some arrests have been made. But, many questions remain unanswered.
What do we know about the people who organised the riot and why have so few arrests been made? Could the gardaí have done more to prevent looting on the streets of Dublin and does it have the resources to properly police the capital city?
And is Ireland’s immigrant community correct to feel more fearful now, walking the streets of Dublin?
Meanwhile, calls are intensifying for Minister for Justice Helen McEntee to resign, with claims that her position is ‘untenable’. And concerns remain for the two stabbing victims – a five-year-old girl and a school carer – who are still seriously ill in hospital.
