The UK updated its Dublin travel advice after vehicles burned, shops looted and police injured amid riots apparently fueled by "far-right ideology". Ireland's police chief blamed "hooligans" for the worst public disorder "in decades". The revised UK guidance warns citizens to "avoid" areas around Parnell Street East and O'Connell Street. Although not discouraging travel to Dublin overall, it notes terrorist attacks in Ireland "cannot be ruled out". Rioters have dispersed but expect heavy police presence preventing repeats, officials said. They vow not to cede Dublin to "arsonists and looters". The UK alert highlights volatile areas but stops short of an overall Dublin avoidance, instead urging awareness of unrest remnants.
