A candlelit vigil has taken place for the victims of the knife attack outside a primary school in Dublin last Thursday that precipitated riots.

Around a hundred parents of Gaelscoil Choláiste Mhuire as well as family and friends gathered outside the GPO on O’Connell Street on Thursday at around 7pm.
