Ireland’s prime minister on Friday condemned anti-immigrant protesters who rampaged through central Dublin after three young children were stabbed, saying the rioters simply wanted to cause chaos, not protect the country’s way of life. The violence began after rumors circulated that a foreign national was responsible for the attack outside a Dublin school on Thursday afternoon. The alleged assailant, who was tackled by witnesses, remains hospitalized in serious condition. A cordon was set up around the Irish Parliament building, Leinster House, and mounted officers were dispatched to nearby Grafton Street. “I’m here for about 20 years now, I don’t know politics here deeply to have an opinion about it,” he said.
