Two people who were arrested on Wednesday in connection with violent protests which took place in Dublin on November 23 will appear in court on Thursday morning.

The two men, one teenager and another man in his late 20s, will appear before Court No. 1 of the Criminal Courts of Justice (CCJ) this morning.

Unrest, including rioting and looting, broke out in the city following the stabbing of three young children and a woman in Parnell Square. During the disturbance, up to seven vehicles were set alight including three buses, three Garda cars, and a Luas tram, as protesters became involved in violent clashes with gardaí.

Around 150 protesters were in the area on the night.

Gardaí said they are continuing "to investigate all aspects of the violent disorder and public order events on November 23 in Dublin city centre."

So far, 36 people have been arrested in connection with the violence.
