Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald has expressed no confidence in the Justice Minister and Garda Commissioner, following riots in the city centre that led to “an unacceptable, unprecedented collapse in policing”.

Up to seven vehicles were set on fire during violence in the city that occurred in the wake of a knife attack on Thursday afternoon.
