Fresh charges for committing "riot" have been brought against two men already accused of serious offences during a massive outbreak of violence, looting and arson in Dublin last year.

The incidents on November 23 in the city centre were among the most serious and "largest scenes of public disorder that has ever occurred in the history of the State", Dublin District Court had heard.
