00:00 The stabbing of three young children sparks a night of rioting in Dublin's city centre,
00:05 leaving Irish police guarding looted stores and firefighters cooling down smouldering
00:09 vehicles. Police blame far-right agitators for starting the violence.
00:14 A small group of anti-immigrant protesters arrived at the scene of the stabbing along
00:18 O'Connell Street and clashed with the police. It took officers several hours to regain control
00:24 after the crowd grew to around 200 to 300 people.
00:27 The Dublin Fire Brigade says firefighters continued to damp down a smouldering tram
00:32 on O'Connell Street. Public transport has resumed but with restrictions in the area.
00:37 A five-year-old girl was receiving emergency treatment after sustaining serious injuries
00:41 in the stabbing. Police arrested a man in his late 40s, also being treated for serious
00:46 injuries, and say they were not looking for any other suspects. Police say they have not
