Four more arrests made in connection with Dublin riots, bringing total to 57

Unrest, including rioting and looting, broke out in the city following the stabbing of three young children and a woman on Parnell Square.

Three men and a juvenile have been arrested in connection with the Dublin riots which took place in the city centre last November. 

Four men, aged in their 30s, 20s, late teens and a juvenile, were arrested following a number of search operations on Monday morning. 

This brings the total number of arrests in relation to the riots up to 57. 

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 riots, 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.

All four are currently being detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984, at Garda stations in Dublin.

"Investigations are ongoing," a Garda spokesperson said. 

Gardaí continue to appeal to anyone with information about the events on that day, or anyone involved in organising or participating in these events, to contact the Garda investigation team at Store Street Garda Station at 01 666 8000, the Garda Confidential Line at 1800 666 111, or any Garda station.
