Continued violent behaviour around asylum seeker accommodation in Dublin will be met with a “very forceful response”, justice minister Jim O'Callaghan has said.

The warning came as Irish police appealed to people, in particular young males, not to engage in public disorder after two days of riots around the Citywest Hotel in the west of the capital.
