Public looking at images of 99 'persons of interest' connected to Dublin riots crashes Garda website

The 99 individuals are separate, and in addition to, the 57 people already arrested in relation to the looting and rioting, which saw three Dublin buses and one Luas destroyed by fire, 15 garda vehicles and two fire brigade tenders damaged and 66 businesses attacked.

Gardaí are using, for the first time, an online reporting tool on their social media sites to allow members of the public identify or name people wanted in relation to a criminal investigation.

As part of a year-long probe into last November’s Dublin riots, gardaí have uploaded images of 99 people captured on CCTV.
