Dublin violence motivated by hate: Irish PMFlames rise from a car and a bus set alightDUBLIN: Rioters who torched vehicles and looted shops in Dublin following a knife attack outside a school brought "shame" on Ireland, Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said on Friday, condemning the worst violence in decades which authorities blamed on right-wing groups. "Those involved brought shame on Dublin, brought shame on Ireland and brought shame on their families and themselves," a visibly angry Varadkar told reporters, describing the rioters as "criminals". They love violence. We need to take it away from the cowards who hide behind masks and tried to terrify us with their violence," Varadkar said. A police cordon was set up around the Irish parliament building, Leinster House, late on Thursday night, amid concerns that the violence could spread.
