The 2023 Dublin riot took place on the evening of 23 November 2023 in Dublin, Ireland, involving incidents of vandalism, arson, looting, and assaults on gardaí (Irish police).[5] Described by gardaí as the most violent in modern Dublin history, far surpassing the 2006 riots, the riot followed a knife attack earlier that day outside a primary school in Parnell Square East. At around 1:40 pm GMT, a man in his 50s stabbed three young children, critically injuring a five-year-old girl. He also stabbed and seriously injured a care assistant in her 30s as she tried to shield the children. The man was disarmed and incapacitated by others at the scene before being arrested by gardaí.[6]

After the stabbing incident, rumours spread that the perpetrator was an immigrant, along with false claims that the children had died. Agitators fostered anti-immigrant sentiment online, urging people to assemble at the crime scene and protest. Demonstrations turned violent around 6:00 pm, when members of a 100- to 200-strong crowd began throwing fireworks, flares and bottles at the gardaí who were maintaining a cordon around the crime scene. Just before 7:00 pm, a Garda car was set on fire.[7][8] Rioting progressed to the adjacent O'Connell Street, Dublin's main thoroughfare, and also spread to Capel Street and Parliament Street. At its peak, the rioting crowd was estimated at 500 people.[9] Several buses, Garda vehicles and a Luas tram were damaged or destroyed by arson and vandalism, and multiple shops were looted. In response, 400 gardaí were dispatched, including the largest deployment of gardaí armed with riot gear in Ireland's history.[10] By 10:00 pm, the rioters had been dispersed, with 34 arrests made that evening and further arrests made over subsequent days. Sixty gardaí were assaulted during the riot, three of whom sustained serious injuries.

The Garda Commissioner, Drew Harris, blamed the riot on a "lunatic, hooligan faction driven by a far-right ideology." Opposition politicians called for the resignations of Harris and the Minister for Justice, Helen McEntee, claiming that people no longer felt safe in the city.[11] The Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar, pledged to update legislation relating to hate speech and incitement to violence, and the government also announced its intent to introduce new laws around the use of facial recognition technology to combat crime.[12]

On 23 November 2023, at approximately 13:40 GMT,[14] a man armed with a knife attacked a group of young children outside the Irish language-medium primary school Gaelscoil Choláiste Mhuire in Parnell Square East, Dublin.[15][14][16] The man stabbed three children as well as a care assistant in her 30s who had tried to protect the children. A five-year-old girl was critically injured in the incident, while the care assistant was seriously injured.[15][17][18] A six-year-old girl and five-year-old boy sustained less serious injuries and were discharged from hospital following treatment. The five-year-old girl and the care assistant remain in hospital.[19][20]

The attacker was disarmed by three men who intervened: Caio Benicio, a 43-year-old Deliveroo driver from Brazil, Warren Donohoe from Baltinglass, County Wicklow, and Alan Loren-Guille, a 17-year-old trainee chef from France.[21] Donohoe grabbed the attacker, whom Benicio then struck with his motorcycle helmet, knocking him to the ground and incapacitating him.[16][22] Loren-Guille wrestled the knife from the man, suffering minor injuries to his hand and face in the process.[23] After others began kicking the attacker as he lay on the ground, two women formed a protective ring around him, urging onlookers to wait for the gardaí to arrive. Another man safeguarded the attacker's knife until gardaí could retrieve it.[24][25]

The attacker was detained by gardaí and taken to a Dublin hospital where he currently remains after suffering serious injuries.[26][27] He was later reported to be a man in his 50s, originally from Algeria,[28] who had lived in Ireland for 20 years and was naturalised as an Irish citizen in 2014.[29][30] The man, who had been staying in homeless accommodation in Dublin's north inner city,[31] had appeared before the District Court in June 2023, charged with possession of a knife and criminal damage to a car.[28] Reporting on early investigations, Garda commissioner Drew Harris described the attack as "standalone" and stated that it was not terrorism-related. A Garda superintendent said no other individuals were wanted by the gardaí in connection with the attacks.[15]

Following the stabbing incident, rumours spread on the WhatsApp, Telegram and Signal messaging apps that the attacker was an illegal immigrant, and that the children were dead. Members of the far-right urged people to go to the scene and "make your feelings known"; they used the hashtag #Irelandisfull.[32][33]

Shortly before 6 pm, people started gathering at the top of O'Connell Street, a few metres from the scene of the stabbings.[34] Members of the crowd, estimated to number between 100–200 people,[8] and some of whom were carrying metal bars and wearing facial coverings (including balaclavas and hoods),[35][36] assaulted the gardaí responding to the scene, throwing fireworks and bottles at the officers.[7] Vehicles were also attacked and set on fire, including a Garda vehicle, a bus, and an empty Luas tram.[8] Shops and businesses were looted and set on fire by youths.[37] A small number of people were reported to be shouting anti-immigration slogans at gardaí.[30] Some were holding Irish flags and signs reading "Irish lives matter".[8] At the peak of the riot, the crowd grew to about 500 people and spread to Capel Street and Parliament Street.[9][38] Members of the Garda Public Order Unit were deployed to the area.[39] Rioters lit flares and some shouted slogans like "get them [immigrants] out".[40][41] A witness described the rioters as "young people – late-teens, early-20s" who were being "egged on" by older people.[17]

In response to the rioting, Luas and Dublin Bus suspended their services.[42] Many businesses near the scene closed early or cancelled events.[43] Tara Street railway station was closed by Iarnród Éireann.[44] Trinity College, which is close to the scene, imposed a lockdown and closed all gates to its campus.[45] A police cordon was created at the Oireachtas building at Leinster House, while officers from the Mounted Support Unit were deployed in nearby Grafton Street.[46]

Garda Commissioner Drew Harris stated a "complete lunatic hooligan faction driven by far-right ideology" was behind the violence and condemned it as "disgraceful".[43] Harris also called upon people "to act responsibly and not to listen to the misinformation and rumour that is circulating on social media."[47] He also denied that the Gardaí had failed to protect the city from the violence, calling the response to the stabbing unanticipated.[17] Garda sources later told The Irish Times that the events were unlike anything seen in modern Dublin history, surpassing by far the levels of violence and criminal damage seen during the 2006 "Love Ulster" riots.[27] Minister for Justice Helen McEntee said the incident saw the largest deployment of riot gardaí to a public order situation in Ireland's history.[10][48]

At around 10 pm, gardaí reported that most of the crowds had dispersed and that the city centre was "mainly calm".[49] More than 400 officers were retained to keep order after the violence subsided.[45]

Arrests, injuries and damage

Gardaí reported that 34 arrests had been made in connection with the rioting.[36] Further arrests were made after 23 November, as families and friends called the Gardaí to turn in persons that took part in the riots.[50] Up to 60 Gardaí were assaulted, three of whom suffered serious injuries. One Garda was hospitalised with a severe injury to his toe, another Garda suffered a broken ankle, while a third officer broke three fingers on one of their hands.[1]

Thirteen shops suffered significant damage or looting which included the theft of charity boxes,[51][33] while four buses and one tram were destroyed and 11 Garda vehicles were damaged.[52] Among the shops looted were Arnotts on Henry Street and Foot Locker on O'Connell Street.[53]

The Dublin Fire Brigade said one of its fire engines that responded to the stabbing scene was "pelted with projectiles" and "beaten with iron implements" while attending to a refugee centre that was petrol bombed during the riots.[17]

Aftermath

Aftermath of the riot: wreckage can be seen.

On the morning of 24 November, the Luas Red Line ran a limited service between Tallaght/Saggart and Smithfield.[54] The Green Line ran a limited service between St Stephen's Green and Brides Glen.[54]

Some schools in the vicinity of the riot closed early on 24 November and Temple Street Children's hospital cancelled clinics for the day, although it remained open for emergencies.[55]

The riot, which occurred a day before the Black Friday shopping day, curtailed consumer spending on that day as most people were likely to avoid the city centre of Dublin.[56] Some businesses opened late and closed early the day after the riots. Arnott's reopened for business from noon until 6 pm on 24 November following extensive overnight cleanup by staff. The General Post Office on O'Connell Street also reopened for business at noon on 24 November.[57] The Chief Executive of Retail Excellence reported that trading fell 70% in Dublin city centre compared to the previous Black Friday.[58]

The Muslim Sisters of Éire charity organisation said that it would be unable to provide its usual support for the homeless on O'Connell Street on 24 November, as it feared for the safety of its volunteers.[59]

A GoFundMe to 'buy Caio Benicio a pint' was set up the day after the attack and raised over €300,000 in less than 24 hours.[60]

Mounted members of the Garda Síochána patrol Dublin city centre the morning after the riot.

Minister McEntee said gardaí were trawling through 6,000 hours of CCTV footage and vowed that further arrests would follow, while Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said damage to public infrastructure from the unrest could cost "tens of millions of euros to repair".[61]

Fearing further unrest, two water cannons were loaned to An Garda Síochána from the Police Service of Northern Ireland, for use until the end of the year.[62]

On the night of 24 November, Gardaí made arrests on O'Connell Street after a smaller number of people attempted to create unrest for a second night in a row.[63] A high visibility policing plan was put in place throughout the weekend, including the deployment of four public order units.[64]

Pressure mounted on the government and gardaí in the wake of the riots as McEntee insisted she would not resign and Commissioner Harris denied there were "personnel failures" inside the force.[65] They were subsequently called upon to appear before the Oireachtas Justice Committee to address the violence and disruption on Dublin's streets.[66]

Legal proceedings

On 24 November, 32 people (28 men and four women) appeared in court in Dublin in connection with the riot. Their charges included weapons offences, public order offences and theft of items such as clothing and cigarettes.[17]

Misinformation

Commissioner Harris attributed the riot to "hateful assumptions" based on material circulating online following the stabbings. This included claims that the attacker was a foreign national.[17] The Gardaí have not revealed the attacker's personal information.

After the rioting began, false information began circulating on social media that the Defence Forces had been deployed onto the streets. Images from a recent army training exercise that included armoured personnel carriers were attached to the misinformation in order to deceive readers. At 8:50 pm the Defence Force's official X (formerly Twitter) account debunked the rumours.[16][67][68]

Coimisiún na Meán, Ireland's media regulator, said it was concerned about the spread of violent imagery, hate speech and disinformation on social media platforms following the unrest.[69] There had been a focus on the role played by social media in the riots, with anti-immigrant rhetoric and misinformation being spread on some platforms.[70] An analyst at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue also attributed the violence to failures by the Gardaí to take threats from the far-right seriously and the government's failure to tackle a continuing housing crisis, which enabled the spread of anti-immigrant sentiment.[71]

Reactions

Domestic

Governmental

President Michael D. Higgins stated that his thoughts were with the victims of the attack, and said "that it would be used or abused by groups with an agenda that attacks the principle of social inclusion is reprehensible and deserves condemnation by all those who believe in the rule of law and democracy."[72]

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said he was "shocked" by the knife attack and praised the emergency services for responding "very quickly".[73] He said later that the rioters had brought "shame" to Dublin for their families and themselves,[74] and were not motivated by patriotism but by "hate" and their "love" of "violence", "chaos", and "causing pain to others," and pledged to use the "full resources of the law, the full machinery of the state to punish those involved" in what he called "grotesque events". Varadkar also pledged to pass new laws to enable police "to make better use of" CCTV evidence and "modernise" laws regarding hate and incitement.[51]

Minister for Justice Helen McEntee said that a "thuggish and manipulative element must not be allowed to use an appalling tragedy to wreak havoc."[43] She also announced the allocation of €4.4 million to buy additional vehicles for the Garda.[75]

Former Lord Mayor of Dublin, Nial Ring, said he spoke to parents and children of the school where the attack took place, and said "It's just something you don't expect. One of the main comments I heard was 'this only happens in America'."[76]

Sinn Féin leader and Dublin Central TD Mary Lou McDonald, whose constituency covers the area affected by the violence, said the incident sent "shock and horror throughout the community".[45] She also criticised the government, stating that although the Gardaí had her full support, she had "no confidence" in both McEntee and Garda Commissioner Harris.[77] Another Dublin Central TD, Gary Gannon from the Social Democrats, called for McEntee and Harris to resign from their offices, calling their positions "untenable".[78] Ivana Bacik, the leader of the Labour Party, also called for more gardaí to be deployed on the streets and acknowledged major problems around garda recruitment, adding that her party has not had confidence in the Government's handling of policing for some time. Meanwhile, Tánaiste and concurrent Minister for Foreign Affairs Micheál Martin expressed confidence in McEntee and Harris.[79] Unnamed government ministers, TDs, and senators within Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael however said that McEntee's position was "untenable".[80]

Religious

Catholic Archbishop of Dublin Dermot Farrell described the stabbing attack as "particularly distressing" and commended the emergency services for their response. He also said he was praying for the injured, their families, and all those affected, and invited the people of Dublin to join him in prayer.[81]

Church of Ireland Archbishop of Dublin Michael Jackson extended his concern and compassion to those affected by the stabbings and thanked the emergency services for their response. He also said he was praying for the injured, for those living in Dublin and for those involved in keeping the peace in the capital.[82]

Other

The Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors said that Garda officers in Dublin needed more support and called on officers from outside the city to be brought in to supplement them.[17] Dermot O'Leary, general secretary of the National Bus and Rail Union condemned the "appalling violence" in Dublin following the decision to halt transport services due to the rioting.[83] In response to the stabbing, the Irish National Teachers' Organisation said its hearts were "with the entire school community of Gaelscoil Choláiste Mhuire following the horrendous incident that has taken place."[45]

The Dublin Chamber of Commerce said "Public safety is a cornerstone of any civic society, and any threat to it must be dealt with swiftly".[56]

Umar Al-Qadri, the Chair of the Irish Muslim Peace & Integration Council, advised members of the Muslim community to avoid travelling into Dublin city centre the weekend after the riot.[84] He said his thoughts were with those injured at the attack at the school and he was shocked at the riot.[84] The morning after the riot, numbers attending Friday prayers in mosques were low and many Muslim children did not travel to school.[84] Al-Quadri advised weekend schools in mosques to suspend activities.[84]

International mixed martial artist Conor McGregor, who is Irish, voiced his displeasure with the government for their handling of the knife attack and the riots that followed, saying he "does not condone" the riots but insisted that a "change" must occur and that Ireland was "at war".[85][86] His comments was branded "absolutely disgraceful" by Tánaiste Micheál Martin, adding "voices like that are inciting hate". McGregor later hit back at Martin's comments, saying the government was "blaming anyone but yourselves", adding the Tánaiste was "worthless and spineless".[87]

International

Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, stated in a social media post that she was "shocked by the brutal attack that injured several people in Dublin, including children."[88]

French President Emmanuel Macron thanked Loren-Guille, who helped apprehend the stabber, for "this act of bravery which helped save lives and which makes us all proud." The Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs added that it was sending its "thoughts to the victims of this attack and their families" and stood "with Ireland and the Irish people."[89]

Elon Musk criticised the Irish government saying that Taoiseach Leo Varadkar "hates the Irish people", adding: "The current Irish government clearly cares more about praise from woke media than their own people."[90][91] In response, Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan said these comments show "how little he [Musk] knows about the country", and that "in my mind, [Musk's position is] being abused and misused".[92]

Former British prime minister Boris Johnson labelled the violent scenes in Dublin "race riots", and suggested that "achingly liberal" countries like Ireland now had concerns about the pace of immigration.[93]

Following the riot, the Algerian embassy in Dublin circulated warnings to community groups advising Algerian citizens to "show the utmost caution and vigilance, and to avoid places that have been the subject of violence and vandalism", in particular the Dublin city centre.[94]
