Global News
In Dublin, protesters clashed with police Tuesday evening outside a hotel housing asylum seekers where a young girl was reportedly attacked.
Anti-immigrant protesters burned a police vehicle and attacked officers near a building housing asylum seekers in Dublin on Tuesday, the justice minister said, a day after a man was arrested for an attack on a young girl nearby.
The incident comes two years after anti-immigrant protesters triggered a major riot in the center of Dublin after the stabbing of three young children.
The Irish Times, which published a video of a burning police van, reported that over 500 people were involved in the protest outside the building in West Dublin on Tuesday evening.
Videos posted on X by Irish media outlets and anti-immigrant activists showed people holding Irish flags and placards with anti-immigrant slogans. Protesters threw glass bottles and fireworks at police.
