Rioters threaten May Day mayhem, McDowell warned

MICHAEL MCDOWELL was warned last night of potential May Day mayhem in Dublin as the EU summit on May 1 is being targeted by rioters.

The minister for justice was urged to provide additional resources to the gardaí to combat the threat.

Fianna Fáil local elections candidate Jim O’Callaghan said judging by conversations over the internet, planning for the riots is at an advanced stage.
