Violent Chaos Unleashed in Dublin: Riots, Stabbings, and Tram Fire

Irish police have arrested 34 people following riots in Dublin, which were sparked by rumors that a foreign national was responsible for stabbing three young children outside a school. Prime Minister Leo Varadkar condemned the anti-immigrant protesters, stating that they sought chaos rather than protecting the country's way of life. The violence comes amid rising tensions over immigration in Ireland, with right-wing groups using social media to stir up opposition. The alleged assailant remains hospitalized, while a 5-year-old girl is in critical condition. Commissioner Drew Harris described the rioters as a "complete lunatic hooligan faction driven by far-right ideology."
