'Love Ulster' rally clashes condemned by politicians

Today's violence in Dublin city centre has been condemned by the main political leaders in the south.

Labour leader Pat Rabbitte says the riots have brought shame on the capital city.

He has accused - what he called ' an 'unrepresentative minority' of resorting to thuggery by attacking gardaí and journalists who were there to cover a legal parade.

He also says the gardaí seemed unprepared for what happened.

Sinn Féin's Sean Crowe says there was no justification for - what he is calling - the 'disgraceful scenes' in Dublin city centre.

He says a small number of people allowed themselves to be provoked by the 'Love Ulster' rally.
