Irish police arrested 34 people following "huge destruction by a riotous mob" in Dublin after 3 young kids were injured in a school stabbing. A 5-year-old girl and a female teacher remain in very serious condition. Garda Commissioner Drew Harris blamed "people radicalized through social media" for scenes not witnessed in decades. Warning of likely more protests, he said "We have to make the assumption that following the events of last night, we are going to see further protests." Harris added there will be a "heavy Garda presence" in Dublin after violent clashes injured numerous officers. Vowing "We cannot allow the city to be given over to the thugs," he said the force stopped 400 protesters as anger erupted over the children's stabbing.
