23 Arrested After Second Night Dublin Unrest

Irish police arrested 23 people after a second night of unrest outside a Dublin hotel housing asylum seekers, where demonstrators hurled missiles and fireworks at officers. Two gardaí were hospitalised—one struck in the head by a bottle, another with arm and shoulder injuries—as crowds, largely young men and teenagers, clashed with police. The disturbances followed six arrests the previous night amid protests against immigration policy. Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan praised a “brave” response and vowed more arrests. The gatherings began at Citywest Hotel in Saggart after a 26-year-old man was arrested over an alleged assault on a 10-year-old girl.
