In the wake of a stabbing attack on several schoolchildren on Parnell Square, a major riot broke out on O’Connell Street, the city centre’s main thoroughfare, and surrounding streets.
Large numbers of gardaí were mobilised in an attempt to restore order, clashing with large groups of rioters.
The shops broken into and looted include Arnotts and Footlocker.
Crime and security correspondent Conor Gallagher and reporter Jack Power covered the stabbing attack and witnessed the riot. They talked to In the News producer Declan Conlon shortly after the most serious rioting ended about what unfolded on a dark day for the capital city - and what comes next.
